  I'm looking for uses, applications, and expansions that allow an Amiga to be useful in modern times.



In ancient times(like 1994), I had to use these horrible PCs running horrible software(like ms-dos/windows 3.11) at work and when I went home, I had, joy of joys, an Amiga 2500 to play with which, unlike the PC, was designed by people who had a creative--fun--vision of what could be done with the computer technology of the era. And I was always doing creative, beautiful and fun things with it. Even though it was grossly underpowered even by the standards of the times, it was such a cool little toy and so much fun that it just carried you away with it.

And so in modern times I use my Amigas for just about the same: Joy and fun. There are PCs and Macs for work, Amigas are above all, for fun. Good creative fun that might get incorporated into a website now and then, but I do the website with a Mac because I know the Mac will get the job done. The Amiga just might help with some "fun" graphics now and then.
A2500 owned since 1993 with A2630/DKB 2632, DKB Megachip, GVP EGS Spectrum, A2320 and GVP HC+8 on the inside and a DCTV on the outside. A4000D with CSPPC, Cybervision 64 and a Flicker Magic flicker fixer. A4000T Toaster Flyer & CSMKII. All systems completly retro and classic and mostly used to do geometic art as in my avatar.
