What do you use your amiga for?

[motorollin]

I use my A1200 for WHDLoad games mostly. I also use YAM to send the odd mail if I'm already on my Amiga when I need to send one (normally I would use my iBook). Unfortunately I find surfing quite painful on my 040/33. Hopefully I will be able to upgrade to something faster at a later date.

amiga is f***ing unstable

Mine isn't. Why don't you look at solving the problem before blaming the Amiga?

it depends on the programs you are using. if the program does something wrong, it crashes the whole computer, no good base for running a computer in critical environment.

You're telling me that your Amiga is stable as long as you don't run software that is unstable and crashes it, right? So it's the software, not the Amiga, that is unstable. I'm sure that Toronto airport have thoroughly tested their Amigas and the software they use if they are being used for air traffic control. The fact that they have been running for 20 years speaks volumes for the stability of both the software they are using and the Amigas themselves.

You're cruel, cruel I tells ya  :ak47:

Still, I stick by my argument that AmigaOS is *not* unstable. There is just a lot of crappy software written for it that causes it to become unstable (as there is on every other OS on the planet). There is also a lot of very high quality software that will run with no problems.
