I throwed away my a1230 last year, month after buying PC, together with 15y old VCR. Why? Because i knew i will never use them again. And it is pointless to give someone a thing like that. I mean, who will know how to deal with non-standard computer?
I have amikit package installed and from time to time i like to feel and see the look of amiga. Heck, uae is damn faster then my miggy was!
Emulator saved me a couple of times, doing some stuff i couldn't do in win progs. Last example was 7 days ago:
i dl'ed some stormpay's installation manual but for some reason the page was incomplete. Mozzila was waiting and waiting for some gif that never appeared. Never mind, i said, i only need text. BUT, when i tried it to load into browser from disk, nothing appearred!?!? But IBROWSE didn't have a problem, it showed ENTIRE page except for missing .gif.
And there was other times i felt good, friendly behaviour that only amiga can provide.
Next year, i will buy another pc and run either amithlon or aros on it, whatever is better at that moment, network with my current pc and enjoy.
And i am NOT to give a single dime for fancy ppc h/w. I love amiga's os, not h/w. I am not a guy playing games, not new not retro. I want updated amigaos, wheather it is os4, aros, mos... on x86. But that is another topic...
ps: i find myself going into uae just for listening mp3's and doing NOTHING! Nothing at all! Just watching...
Damn me!
