Re: Using an Amiga as your main, everyday computer?

I sure would like to use the Amiga for all of my daily tasks, but it just is not possible at the moment.

For work: The company I work for has a policy to use a standard hardware platform and software tools. I regularly push the boundaries of this as far as I can but the fact is there are many software packages that I'm using that are not available on the Amiga or there is no comparable Amiga product.

For home: I can do most everything on the Amiga that I really need to and try to do what I can with the Amiga. Fact of the matter is that not having a decent browser is really an Achilles heel. To get a round the browsing issue, I keep a Linux PC running side by side with the Amigas.
