It is a hobby for me. If I had a network card and a decent web browser then I might use it more. But then it wouldn't have a flash player plugin, adobe reader etc...

I just enjoy playing the games on a real amiga and trying stuff out I never could when I was a kid due to no money. Now my miggy has all the things I wanted and more!

Still no decent web browser though. And yes I am aware of the X-Surf. Too expensive for occasional use.

BUT Amiga prices have gone wild and you can sell old hardware for even more than it costed as new! :D What would you get if you'd invested that money to PC hardware at the time? :P


I don't think so.

A600 was £299 new. Ebay: £30
A1200 was £399 new. Ebay: £70
A3000 was £2000+ new. Ebay: Not even close!
