"Everyone is different. I basically live on the Internet."

Me too. Only things I do with computer is nowadays using Internet, playing mp3 and some little coding occasionally.

"The Amiga, classic or otherwise is pitifully lacking in that arena. Always has been."

I personally disagree with this. I have always found classic Amiga to be best in internet use. Browsing is snappier due the lighter browsers (I agree they don't support latest multimedia crap, but who _really_ needs them. I get everything done without them too.). For IRC, telnet, ssh, ftp etc there are very good programs and Amiga's UI and OS-design makes them better to use than corresponding ones in Windows for example. I find overall net usage much easier and more efficient on Amiga than on other platforms. I have PC with XP too. Sure it supports all the latest browsing things (which isn't big slice of my net usage), but it's pain in the ass to use on internet. Have had Linux on it and Sparc too, but it has never got me to reduce Amiga use.

And I wonder too, how people can give up their Amigas.. no computer has ever served as long as my classic Amiga and will ever serve. I just don't have heart to give up it, even if I'd start using some other platform.
