What do I do with my Amiga? Well, pretty much everything except for syncing my MP3 player (no USB yet :( ), and burning DVD's, Oh, and a few websites that refuse to work with either Aweb APL or IBrowse. The fact is, 99% of my creative work is still done on Amigas. Specifically:

Weirdest use of my Amiga: Using my Arctec scanner and ImageF/X to make 'new' cylinder sleeves for my 1909 Edison cylinder phonograph :)
My dad and I both use Amigas to print decals for our model train layouts, aircraft, etc. Labels and pictures for videotapes and DVD's. My dad used his old A600 with DCTV and an Epson Stylus Photo to scan and re-print 'restored' photos. For me, of course, a good bit of 2D painting w/ DPaint 4 + 5, PPaint, Brilliance, DigiPaint3.... and lots of 3D rendering....Lightwave5, Yeah! No matter how slow it is on a 'lowly' '060 Amiga, I am just used to my old Amiga setup...besides, my Amiga has the expensive printer, and the 20" Toshiba monitor....:hammer:
Various printing tasks for my job....'cause the Brother Fax/printer and PC there fails about every 45mins. :laughing:

For 'common' computer tasks.... you might catch me doing ordinary word processing (Wordworth7) or updating phone numbers, contacts, etc. (Datastore)

I DO NOT play games on my Amiga....when I'm asleep... LOL....
Maybe a little Apidya before bed.....

Oh, and my A1200 is the official software and E-Mail storage for our house. Ya know, 'Just in case'
