Hobby. As an engineer, always use the best tool for the job. Amiga is great for retrogaming.


There is a category missing - professional.
As an engineer, always use the tool you prefer & enjoy for the job (which, in my definition, is the best tool for the job); life is not a rehearsal. I'm still able to use real hardware Amigas at work, and yes, I do get paid for it.

EDIT: I don't work with video, but I do personally know some people at major TV stations here around Washington DC USA that still sometimes use a Video Toaster. Seems that our local news often becomes national USA news, and for editing something really hot in from a local news crew, they say nothing even to this day beats a Toaster in putting something together quick and getting it on the air FIRST (for bragging rights).
