Experiences of running a business on an Amiga

Used mine for at least 8 years to do wedding videos and other promotional videos (see signature). I even did a 30second commercial for TV Using the Video Toaster/flyer. The Amiga is still working today.

Just out of curiosity. How do you guys plan ahead for hardware failure etc? Do you have spare hardware lying around?

At one point I had a second 4000 with a toaster system in it as a backup but sold it a few years back. To be honest the main one I still have today has been working flawlessly for the most part and I seem to be able to find replacement parts when needed. I'm at the point now where if it dies I will then part it out and call it good but for now it's still running when I fire it up.

The trend I see here seems to be that the Amiga did things right and just ran without problems. The Amiga let us be creative long before Mac and PC had things ironed out.
