Thanks Ty,
Making Windows XP look (and to an extent behave) like Workbench takes lots of patches & tweaking, but I'm happy with it (the gadgets at the tops of the Windows work in an Amiga way, apart from the cycling one). It's kinda funny administering an Active Directory network in this way ;-)
If you have Win98 then WinUAE will work fine, it only misses a couple of the features. I have it configured so it runs OS 3.9 with most of my old serious programs (pic editing, word processing, internet stuff) and a couple of HD installable games.
To be honest I find it indespensable as I can run games whithout having to drag my A1200 or A500+ out, but it's not a replacement for the A3000. On my P3 1200MHz it feels like a 40MHz '040 with super graphics speed, so yours will fly!
Let us know how you get on, and we'll do our best to help with any config trouble (Thomas is 'the man' for this! he's sorted 3 things for me, and I thought I was an expert ;-)).
ps. Like I said you can also set it to WinUAE replaces the Windows shell, however this isn't something to be taken lightly so see how you go with AF6 first ;-) If this is done with care it has the potential to be 90% like a Classic Amiga I recon (stuff like getting a Catweasel for using an Amiga keyboard and reading floppies, and careful case choice - you could fool many experts) and it's certainly closer than an A1 or Peg which I like
... sorry to waffle ... :lol:
