so what do you DO with your amigas?

[save2600]

Things I currently do with my Amigas:

Tinker, mod, repair, clean and eventually trade/sell some of the hardware.
Play the occasional game for a few minutes.
Tweak OS configurations for optimum performance.
Read bits of a random vintage Amiga magazine (almost daily).
Am going to start using the Lotto Program on my A1000 to 'win' someday and when I do, I'll proudly tell the world my Amiga 1000 helped! lol

Oh, and even though I may not turn either computer on every day, I'll admit that I usually sneak a glance at the 1000 and 3000 daily. Kind of like sneaking a peek at a hottie you just can't take your eyes off of. :lol:

Things I used to do with 'em:

Sample sounds from various sources
Genlock graphics/titles over video tapes
Write letters and keep databases of my various collections
Surf the web, e-mail and read newsgroups

Things I'd like to do again or learn, but will probably never get around to it:

Paint, edit images
Catalogue my various collections
Ray Tracing
Astronomy via Distant Suns
Play more games and for longer sessions

Whats the joystick in that picture called? I had one as a kid and I loved it, plus its a proper two button stick.

That's a Wico Command Control joystick. I have several of these. They're not discrete 2-button joys either. The switch under the stick allows you to switch between base or stick fire buttons. That's it. I did just modify one for use on an Atari 7800 proper though, so it can be done. You need a Sega Genesis cable though if you want to perform the mod. Same thing if you want to turn it into a 2-button Amiga joystick.
