That's one of the weird things I don't quite get is why the Amiga is referred to in terms such as retro or nostalgia on the forums... :confused:

Until June of this year I'd never owned any other type of computer other than my Amigas and use them every day, so to me I can hardly call it retro or using it for nostalgia as it always has been my main computer... :)

If my 3.x Amiga(s) were up and running, no doubt I would using them for most every day use, still. So, I tend to agree with you. My 1.3 OSed A1000 is a different story however.
Today, I still use the A1000 for more than just games, and when it can't handle the task at hand I'll switch to AmiKit.
I am some what of an odd ball in that I don't mind mixing Amiga and Windows programs to get the results I want/need.
I can't say I have never felt like blowing up an Amiga system or two - but I always gave it a day to cool down (me, not the machine).
Have to admit that my old house had a disk drive or two growing out of the walls though....
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+
