T3000, btw, I should mention the cool image at the bottom of your post has now been added to the collection of 'miggy pics I have cluttering up my hard drive.
Anyway, I have an Amiga 1200 68060/050 (
http://www2.powercom.net/~watertonian/1200brag/index.html) and I like several aspects of it. From modifying it to do stuff that an Amiga "can't" do, to classic games (Frontier Elite II
), to annoying windows buffs by running win95 (pc-task) and macOS (shapeshifter) while doing something useful on the Amiga. (I was doing this while working on my resume with Amigawriter a few days ago). I used to drag it to my hometown's computer club meetings every month to show up the nice new windows boxes the other people brought in. (Remember running a gloom head to head game with my buddies a1200 when he still had one at such a meeting), also like to compile proggies for it. (Useless shell apps right now, but trying to figure MUI and MIAMI API's). I also think Amiga addictionn is genetic. My daughter, at the age of 3 weeks, will sit in my lap and stare at my 1942 monitor while I'm checking my e-mail, or playing video games. She especially likes Aladdin, Megaball AGA, and Xtreme racing. Also, the atmospheric mod collection I play with delitracker puts her right to sleep. Very useful with a fussy baby, not too useful when I'm trying to stay awake myself.
When I'm working on my laptop (Windows XP), or my Girlfriends desktop (Also, windows XP) she ignores the monitor completely, and usually wants her bottle. I'm going to have to pull the old Pentium II I installed AROS on and see what she thinks of that next. I think she's going to be an Amiga junkie... going to have to dust off the A600, plug it into the TV, and get some of my old educational games out for her. (Only U.S. ones though... TV doesn't like PAL signals too much) Sorry about lengthy post, had to throw my 2 cents in, turned out to be 2 bucks.. lol
