I stopped using an Amiga as a main system back in '98. Haven't been using real classic HW since '03.
I did make a serious attempt at using Workbench as my main OS through UAE, although that failed; there simply wasn't any capable web browser at that time.

Now that the Amiga browser situation has improved somewhat I might give it another try, but the lack of Java support and the fact that using any other web browser than Opera gives me naussea, makes it unlikely.

I've just started using an A1200 for my day to day computing.  So far things are going very well;  I've not needed to turn on the Linux PC for a week now!  It's amazing just how usable these machines are, despite their age!

What are the specs of that beast? I assume you're either using a PPC-card or that you aren't browsing the web much. :)
