What modern "Things" can I do with my Amiga?
« on: April 02, 2011, 01:48:30 AM »
Besides the occasional game, what can I do with my fairly unexpanded amiga?

Amiga 2000HD brand new, had it for 15 years now in the box, got a 030 accelerator recently, and am itching to play with it a bit.  

I need to find some usefulness for it!

So, what do you do daily on your amiga, and what software do you do it with?  

I have given up on trying to build an "Uber" amiga as parts are too expensive, and I have pretty much the ultimate expanded amiga on my desktop with my quad core 3.8ghz winuae setup.  

Word processing comes up in my mind immediately, but how do i get the files in / out of the amiga for printing, and what software can I print with?  All my printers are too modern for the amiga.

Email?  I could probably setup up a pretty basic dial up (I think I even get one free with my time warner) and log on that way with a modem....

Well, anyways, those are my musings.  In my day to day life, I have to have a PC, but would love to find more ways to use my amiga!

I am interested in playing with a toaster especially now that they are affordable.  I remember getting the newtek demo tape as a kid and dreaming of doing similair things. Are there any modern Printer drivers for the amiga?
