I'm still looking to complete my Amiga collection someday.  As of just two weeks ago when I finally obtained an A600, I now only need an A3000T to pretty much have at least one of every kind of Amiga manufactured and sold.  I am not counting the A1500 and A2500 as separate models.  I prefer my G4 Powerbook for virus free Internet and email (even with the recent flak about hacking the wireless connection).

On next Monday I will be taking delivery of a monster Dell desktop with Intel Core Duo and dual video cards, 2GB RAM, etc., etc., etc.  (I got a company purchasing discount of 15% off list price the last week of my previous job and decided to take advantage of it since I needed a new desktop PC for doing CAD)

I will be thinning out my Amiga collection to get rid of duplicates (some triplicates) of hardware and software in the near future, so keep your eyes open here and on eBay.

why is it that mac users are so smug about virus free browsing.  I have browsed with windows for years and NEVER had a virus and there are viruses for osx?  irix has the least I think.  I have no numbers to back this up. :-)


I'm not being smug, it is just a choice made due to the odds.  I am not aware of any OSX viruses, so I choose to use it instead of Windows for peace of mind.  If I had a fast modern Amiga web browser and email client, I would use it instead of the Mac, as I imagine the number of hackers writing Amiga viruses are almost nil at this point in time.
