the 2nd computer i EVER bought (after my amiga2000 in 1989) is my Dell laptop just last fall. i think it's a P4, half gig of mem.
with help from a friend i made it multiboot. linux red hat and windows2000. i use linux to make web pages and do text editing and just have fun: GIMP, etc.
in windows i use aftereffects and do most of my internet stuff. using only opera.
in the spring i installed WInUAE and it's works very nicely! ImageFX 4.5 on OS3.9
in need an external modem to use linux on the net - which i have back in LA. i have used it and it works great.
like my laptop. but i sure would hate being stuck ONLY having one OS!!!
looking forward to a pegasis and/or an amigaone. proabably both?
