My A1200T was my primary computer from somewhere around 1996 up until October 2000, when I went from the UK to work in South Korea for a couple of years. The old Miggy (then in a pc tower) was just too big to go with me, so it was a P3 WinME lappie !
Sad really, as the Miggy could do everything I needed in the UK. Parallel port scanner, inkjet printer, Pace Solo modem (fantastic when I was beta testing Oliver Roberts' Amiga update software), Zip and LS120 drives allowed me to connect to the outside computing world.
I've spent many long hours since pointing out to Windoze afficionados that when they had a 40Mhz Win 95 PC they could surf the web, send emails, write letters, and what can they do now, with 100 times the Cpu power ? Surf the web, send emails and write letters ! :lol:
Thats enough for now, lets all have a couple of :pint: !!

Surely if our cars were like computers we would have to keep rebooting them and having to open and close the windows to keep them running  :crazy:
Nooo, don't go off topic, have a :pint:
