I prefer a mid-way option:
I really LOVE my Miggys. Even for today's use.
So I made a MediTator tower myself, hacking a crappy Frankenstein. But I keep a not-that-good A1200 and other good oldyes (500/600/2000Toaster) to back-days apps. The Windoz CRAP is ages after Amiga today.
But guess what system is my preference? Yup: Workbench. Tiny, smart, reliable.
No need to "update" every week. No need to buy expensive/monster-brute-force hardware ever six months to still play "Freecell" in a decent speed.
And YES! I want to use it for every day "serious" work. Don't get me :crazy:, I don't to :horse:.
Yes, I noticed today's hardware for Amigas are no more. No super-duper-hiper-mega-combo-blaster-WTF brand new boards or apps.
The 1st reason I love this abandonned hardware is quite simple: is a machine 10 years before is age! A bloody $$$$ 1200 can do "almost" a peecee crappy box can do.
No DVD tools? Did you check aminet last week? Ok, only for Mophos, but who cares? All I want is mail, some IRC, web browsing, word processing, see some pics (naked hot girls!!!!! Yes! Yes!) and gaming a little. Need you a US$2k Bill Gaytes box for this? Bloody hell, NO!
That was my 2 cents...
