so what do you DO with your amigas?

so what do people actually do with their amigas these days?

Whether its a classic machine, a pimped out hybrid beast, a PPC amiga, AROS or just some UAE for a rainy day

At home I use my Amiga4000 with CyberstormPPC (128 mB), Mediator PCI busboard with Voodoo4, Terratec 512i digital and 10/100 mBit NIC as my main machine with OS 3.9/WarpOS 16.1.

I also have an experimental OS4.0 classic installation on it, but as OS4classic doesn't support all of my hardware components, OS 3.9 is my main system.

Aside from mailing and surfing the web I use it for digitising my vinyl record collection and converting it to mp3; for scanning, image processing and archiving all my old photos; for working on the preservation of the Wiehl Valley Railway.

Furthermore I'm in the process of starting a project to make a live steam model locomotive in H0 scale and will do the mechanic design in 3d on the Amiga with DynaCADD. Furthermore I'm planning to use the Miggy for the CNC production of the designed parts. Should I decide to make the controlling hardware myself, I internd to use NewIO and LogicWorks to do the schematics and PCB layout (if its not too complex).

And if I happen to be in the rare situation where I cannot get a task done on the Amiga, I switch on the XP-PC below my desk, connect my Miggy via RDesktop to it and remote-controll the XP-PC from the Miggy to get the task done.

You should definitely kill that cat...

Ah.....never thought of that. RSPCA "You said that Dandy told you to kill that Cat", Me "Yes, on Amiga.Org its where the Cat Killers chat." Queue picture of that Cat with Rifle

Hehe - got that from "Dinner For One", where Mr. Winterbottom says to Miss Sophie "Uhhh - I'll kill that cat!" around the end of the sketch...
