It is better than the real thing in many ways:
- A simple change of a configuration file and it is any Amiga you want it to be
- Back up and restoration of HDF and ADF iseasy
- Ability to change upgrade or downgrade the rom or chip sets is easy
- adding ram is cheap ;)
- Don't have to worry about if your amiga will fail to boot each time.
- accessing windows and mac shares is easy

However, with all the advantages, there is something missing. I miss the floppy sounds and even the sound the hard drive makes on the A3000. It's just not the same.

My UAE a3000 emulation runs at 1.08% of a real A3000 and I use it to grammar check articles for our corvette newsletter. I let my real Amigas sleep.
