Amigas in the "modern" world
« on: April 13, 2008, 12:44:24 AM »
All of the classic Amigas were designed more than 15 years ago, before Al Gore started the WWW.  Grin.

In what ways, undreamt of then, do you use your Amiga now?  I'm looking for uses, applications, and expansions that allow an Amiga to be useful in modern times.

I'm after the positive here.  I hope no one bothers pontificating about how it's a dead retro machine.  There is enough of that already.

Thanks everyone for responding.  I used to get info about new ways to use Amiga from the magazines that were available.  I was hoping this thread would yield some new ideas and programs I was not aware of, and it has.

@ pVC

Your list included a number of apps I was unfamiliar with, mostly for MorphOS (which I don't have).  Searching for Sputnik, however, brought me to this interesting page:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Internet_and_communications_software

It seems new users (or ppl returning) are always asking for "..what's new.." with Amiga.  If this thread becomes comprehensive enough, ppl could simply be pointed here.  Community can be a great thing.


EDIT:  I'm still checking into Sankirja.
