The last time I ran Amithlon, it ran circles around any emulator on the same hardware. I loved it!

It was beautiful to behold!

I was lucky enough to use one for a demonstration of IFX at an east coast Amiga Convention. I was amazed at how FAST it was! I may not be into speed the way the boys are, but a faster system does make work that much easier.
I know !

Once I had my hands on one this is what opened my eyes to the possibility of getting some kind of portable Amiga. And after Amithlon had it's political problems (arg), I decided to try WinUAE on a regular windows laptop. I did this by buying a Dell, and eventually making it multiboot with Red Hat. So, I had three OS's on it.

worked very well for years.

Amiga OS faster is really really good

HA HA!!!  I bet you were the one demonstrating the show I was talking about!  That's too funny!
 
I even remember the video clip you worked on for the class.  It was woman blowing out a match and you did some kinda cool background effect and it rendered superfast!
Baltimore - yes, that was probably me!

and I had JUST been handed this laptop, so all I had to know was IFX. I think connecting the laptop to the projector was more 'time consuming' only because it wasn't my laptop and I had not done this before. I was VERY impressed.

After that experience I laugh at people who don't appreciate the value of emulation.
