Amgia n00b here - A1200 questions

[coldfish]

6) I had an expanded A1200 for a while, but I have to admit UAE eventually lured me away, it's just more convenient if you're not into collecting mountains of old hardware.

It depends, I totally loose the feeling if I have to wait and boot windows xp first, and then start winuae..

But of course, its much better than anything...

My laptop comes out of hybernation faster than my old A1200 would boot to WB, (it's true!).  

After using emulators for a while, I found my real A1200 (as a classic gaming machine) slow, annoying and clunky.

..then I guess you're not coding on the Amiga?  I've been writing a couple of intros in E-UAE lately where the raster timing turned out to be completely wrong on a real Amiga.  I thought I spent about 70% CPU time, did in fact use about 120%.  In E-UAE everything ran smoothly, but on the Amiga it was lagging like crazy.

This is one of the reasons I'm currently building an A600 from eBay parts.

No coding, just classic games.
