So it's a new year, we all promise to do things we don't want to, like eat better, wash the dog more, drink less beer, whatever the case might be.
Why not try something that's actually fun instead?
Thus I present: The Amiga Main Computer Challenge.
It is simple: For whatever length of time you set for yourself, use only your Amiga as your main computer and / or source of entertainment.
That means if you need an app, gotta be on the Amiga.
That means if you want to play a game or listen to music, gotta be on the Amiga.
If it can't be done that way, it doesn't get done.
Activities you'd normally do on another computer, ipad, whatever must be replaced with activities on the Amiga.
Instead of arguing about politics on twitter, go make something in Deluxepaint.
Instead of browsing facebook, write a letter to your grandma.
Your "Work" computer:
Back in the day, you didn't take the office IBM home with you when you left for the day.
As such, if you need a modern computer to do your work, banking etc. you can still do that. Basically, when you are doing that stuff, as far as the challenge, that's "at work" and thus doesn't count.
But resist cheating.
Stick to the things you NEED to do. That facebook game must wait!
You can set the challenge for any amount of time. The point isn't to be annoying but to actually get more use out of that lovely old computer, try some new things and have a good time.
Do 1 day, a weekend, a week, an entire month, whatever works for you.
Bonus points if you go all out and only listen to music or watch movies released in the "appropriate" period (85-94, natch).
So.. you down for the challenge?
