Hi I'm wondering what software was giving you platform envy. So much so your Amiga got knocked off the winners podium and replaced with a PC or Mac. What titles/applications did you rush out and purchase?

I think it was the fact that there were no Amiga laptops, as my first non-Amiga computer that I purchased was a 400mhz Celeron off brand laptop.  That plus my growing curiosity about Linux and the end of Compuserve's support of the Amiga application "AutoPilot".

Later I needed a Windows capable x86 to run TurboCAD (as I refused to pay the price for AutoCAD).

I am thankful that I only had to put up with Windows 3.1 through Windows95 at work and my first version of Windows on a home computer was Windows98, which was much less trouble than previous versions.  (Win3.1 on my 386sx Bridgeboard in my A2000 was horrible and kept me on the Amiga bandwagon for years longer than might have been)
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
