Hi:
Don't really have an end goal for the machine - I would like to play some of the games from my past on it such as It Came From The Desert and Cruise for A Corpse.
Other than that if it is possible to use it as one would use an Ipad - i.e. to browse Facebook and news sites it would be quite novel. I use PCs for work and wouldn't dream of trying to replace a PC with an Amiga for real work.
hi, & welcome
unfortunately cruising the net on an old ECS/OCS classic like the 1500 won't be much fun today...I suggest you keep it as a retro games machine and play around with workbench etc.
If you want a more modern Amiga experience then you'll have to get into new or used hardware such as a PegII, Sam440ep/flex etc. that can run the latest AmigaOS4.1 update 2 (all these options would probably be cheaper than getting an A4000 with PPC card)
You can also try out AROS which is an Amiga inspired OS that runs on many x86 PC's. If you have an old Mac lying around then you might want to try out MorphOS. Anyhow you have quite a bit of options if you want to try the more modern route else just enjoy the retro goodness:afro:
