Longest Amiga session

[pierre]

web surfing with the amiga =  pain

I get some pretty good runs (when just rendering) I was rendering to 2 days recently.  I think I have left the things on for week at a time.

On average 2 hours should right, when fiddeling with apps and settings....

On a slightly off topic note...I just realized I had my octane2 logged in for about 2 months solid now!  (browsing the web, running maya and studio!) no issues.

yeah, I shutdown much more now also. tho I think is mainly to save the power suppy as I think it's actualy better for the hardware to stay on (if your gonna use it on and off).. is this true?

it was someting about the current spiking whenyou turn it on puting stress on the chips and such.. don;t know if this bogus.. I do know that sometime i turn an old system off and then it never turns back on.... very sad...

NO amiga will last long surfing the web... even if the amiga last the user will SOONER or later give up.... We need firefox !..  
My toaster flyer is rock slolid, as long as I don't mess with other things.
10 or 11 years ago, I used to to graphics for the local news station, I used a a3k(t) to switch the graphics live! (with scala!!!) It NEVER crashed EVER, just this one time during the brodcast I was palying with the key on the front...I learned that if you turn it to the left it resets the amiga... whoops... I claimed the machine crashed... those ppl where very uptight!  I did get it back up and running pretty quick tho but I did miss some graphics.... It had not crashed I reset it!  live and learn
