Do you use an x86 based machine?

[iamaboringperson]

I just want to know who on this site owns and uses an x86 based machine(or IBM-PC, call it what you like), especially running an operating system other than AROS, AmigaOS, or - if you found a way to do it - MorphOS.
Do you use an OS such as Linux, *BSD, MS-Windows, and BeOS on it?
If so, what for, and how often?

Me:
I use MS-Windows for games, and Linux for most of my work, including webpage design.
I also occasionally use net/386/freeBSD and play around with AROS

Main machine: AMD K6-II 400

I probably use this more than my A 4000 T

There wasn't one !  :lol:

Actually there is a point. :-)

What I really want to know is how relevant some IBM-PC content on this site is. And by the looks of things It's quite relevant.

Years ago, owning one of these beasts was a real 'no go' for Amiga users, I guess it was seen as 'sleeping with the devil'
Now however, it has become not only much more acceptable, but quite common place too.
Using some OS other than AmigaOS(+AROS, MorphOS), has basically become nessecary, just to do many modern operations.

Amiga users are greatly helped by having some other more mainstream computer. Heck, I can't even access amiga.org properly using aweb!

You would find very few Amiga users who don't have at least one x86 system I believe.

IMHO folks.
