Re: How many of you are still using AmigaOS 3.x ?

I do.
My main computer at home is my fully developed Amiga 4000 with CyberstormPPC, Mediator PCI Busboard, Voodoo4, Terratec 512i digital, 10/100mBit NIC, Spider II USB 2.0, 160 gB HD, DVD-RW, etc. pp.

The main OS on this machine currently still is OS 3.9, although I already have OS 4.0 classic installed as well.
Unfortunately I currently don't have enough spare time to set up the 4.0 system properly.

Aside from that I want to give PPC-Linux a go on that machine once I have the spare time for that.

My A4kPPC is mainly used for webbrowsing, e-mails, photo editing (and storing), (light) video editing  (and storing)and CAE/CAD/CAM, networking.

The a4k is networked with an XPpro-PC, which is sitting under the desktop - remote controlled by the Amiga via "RDesktop" by Darren Eveland.

If the Amiga's power is not sufficiant for a particular job or if a piece of software is needed to do this job, that is not available on the Amiga platform, I send the task to the PC over the network, do the necessary steps there, transfer the result back to my Miggy and continue to work on the task there.

"RDesktop" is a wonderful tool for that - no need for a second monitor, keyboard or mouse...

If my Miggy is used once in a year for gaming that really is a lot (although I have loads of games rotting in my disk boxes - mostly from second hand buys).
All the best,

Dandy
