Just wondered if anyone here *only* uses their Classic Amiga for all computing and nothing else.

I think it would be kinda hard to keep up with most things... I think you'd have to have a PC/Mac/Linux to do some basic stuff like online banking etc...

If you do what problems do you have? How do you solve them?

I'm just genuinely interested. :-)

Cheers, Alex.



Yes, I do.
My towered A4000 with CSPPC; Mediator PCI busboard with Voodoo4, Terratec 512i digital and 10/100 mBit NIC; DENEB USB 2.0 highspeed and OS 3.9(BBs I & II)/WarpOS 16.1 does the Job.

I don't do online internet banking - too much ragging there for my taste.
I never tried it via Internet with the Amiga - I only had it via BTX until German Telecom shut this service down.
Since then I prefer to go to the bank personally.
Other Amigans told me it would work with the Amiga - but I never tried it, as it seemed too risky to me...

Surfing the web mostly works flawlessly on the pages I visit.
If the rare situation occurs that I have to visit a page that doesn't work with IBrowse 2.4 I switch on the XP-PC underneath my desk and remote control it from the Amiga with registered version of RDesktop. This way I can get the few things done the Amiga is not capable of due to his aging software.
All the best,

Dandy
