Hi all. When I was younger (late 90's) I was really interested in Amigas. Could never afford one, but always went to the nearest computer store and played around. Demos, a few games, they were really ahead of their time.
Well, I got into PC's, and have been for a while. About 5 years ago, I ran into a guy with a few BRAND NEW Amiga 2000's, with HD (80mb I think) in box. I snapped one up, paid 75 bucks, seemed fair enough at the time. Well, I just stumbled over it in the basement, still in the box, for the hundredth time.
Why did I buy this? I Plugged it in once, ran the old newtek demo that i was so impressed with years ago, and realized its nothing my PC cannot do. Or my mac.
BUT, and here is a stupid question:
Can this thing be "modernized"? Can I make it useable for say web surfing/ basic image editing / email? I know it will never be a power house and replace my main system, but If I could set up a terminal to browse the web, check email, and so on without having to worry about virus's etc, I would not mind spending a little cash on the project (Plus I just hate to see it languish, It is what got me interested in computers to start with!)
Any suggestions?
