Playing games, watching demos, listening mod music, copying disks, programming in AMOS, pixelling with DPaint, rendering with Real3D and Vista etc, tuning Workbench, recording animations to VHS, reading Amiga mags, doing school work and printing, testing everything, visiting demo parties... and some years before internet going online to BBS'es for trading, chatting, bank accounting and online gaming :)

Hmm.. I guess everyone here has lived that phase and isn't that we're all missing nowadays... sooo.. what kind of question this was afterall? :)

EDIT: and I got my first email address in 1994 via some BBS, first PPP connection to internet in 1995 and static 10/10 Mbps internet connection in 1998. All only with Amiga.

Later half of the 90's was great, lots of people were online with Amigas on internet and Amiga IRC channels were full of life etc. It was the golden era of online Amiga using. After millennium it all went downhill as majority was switching to PC as online machine and talk about real computers ceased on the most places ;)
