Hi,

There is nothing like using a REAL Amiga however I also have to give kudos to WinUAE for helping keep the Amiga alive.  Things I cannot run on my Amiga I can run using WinUAE.  Not only that, I have been able to replace applications I lost in my house fire thanks to WinUAE and being able to create Amiga disks using ADF files.

Finally, I always wanted an Amiga laptop.  In essence I now have one.  I have a PIII Panasonic Toughbook from my Law enforcement days that I use.  It boots right to WinUAE and AmigaOS in essence giving me my psuedo Amiga Laptop!  I was also able to strip Windows down to bare nothing on that machine since I do not use Windows at all on it.

You can imagine how many people look at my Amiga laptop and start asking, Wow what kind of system is that!   :lol:

After changing the boot pictures and such, it is pretty funny when you think that all Windows is on this machine is a boot loader utility... a well deserved place in my opinion. At least as a boot load util, Windows seems to work pretty darn well! :-P

Take it light...... :-D
