Ahh, well, I'd blame my dad, or more precisely, his job for getting a PC in the house. My dad was a museum curator, and they had a catalog system using M$ Office. No one there understood that computers that didn't run windows even existed... If you mentioned 'Amiga' they laughed, or said, "What's an Omeega??" Mention Mac, and they just rolled thier eyes......  
  So, we had to get a computer that ran M$ Word and Excel.... We have 2 PC's running Window$ now... but at least one of them I got for free.... I found it in the garbage. Rather apropos. :roflmao:

OK, there are things that I have to use the PC for: 'Fancy' CD / DVD burning (making video compilations in VCD format for my Sega Saturns, burning DVD movies, etc.) scanning slides/negatives (I have a scanner on my A1200, but alas no slide adapter) and a few obstinate websites that insist on Internet Explorer.

Games, well not too much until recently. Years ago, I suppose I had a bit of 'Doom-envy', but now I can play Ultimate Doom on my 1200T, I'm cool with that.  But, I must confess that play a fair amount of RTS games on my PC. Various new/old C&C games, Empire Earth, etc.
