That and there were stronger alternatives. Amiga was my first experience of wordprocessing and DTP. The first wordprocessor I used was Protext - wrote my school essays on it using an A500 and then later on a A1500. When I went to uni I upgraded to an A4000 030 with 85MB hard drive; 6MB ram and Microvitec 1438 and ran Final Writer. Used to draw diagrams in DPaint and then import them into Final Writer. This is simple copy and paste into MS Word these days but back then in the early 90s was trail blazing (for me anyway).
I still have the A4000, upgraded with a 040. Sadly I gave away the 1438 (regret that now). The A500 I traded in for the A1500 and the A1500 I dropped off at the local tip (worst decision I ever made). I now have a A3000T 060, 3000D 040 and a A2000 040 along with a A1200 030 (Phase V 030 MKIV) and not working. I still use my 3000T daily - AmiGemini mostly but also AmigaAMP and to play around with stuff that I never looked at back in the day.
