Just wondered if anyone here *only* uses their Classic Amiga for all computing and nothing else.

I think it would be kinda hard to keep up with most things... I think you'd have to have a PC/Mac/Linux to do some basic stuff like online banking etc...

If you do what problems do you have? How do you solve them?

I'm just genuinely interested. :-)

Cheers, Alex.


I'm too addicted to Internet surfing to use my A1200 exclusively. Although lately I've been thinking that using my A1200 might help cure my addition.  :)  

I stopped using my 1200 mostly because the 80MB HDD ran out of space. Back around 1998 the HDD would not hold Miami, and a 2.5 drive was too expensive for me, so I abandoned the 1200 for a P133 system. Should have just bought a 2.5" drive.

Amiga_Nut: I think the turning point was Team 17 not even attempting World Rally Fever on Amiga, even 030 only machines etc, ditto with Psygnosis and Novastorm (CD32 much superior than PC CD for that game too!) but still I kept with it because Dos/Windows 3.x was a complete bag of shite and using a PC was not something I looked forward to, especially a million and one Config.sys setups for each game.

Ah. The days of configuring config.sys and autoexec.bat. Particularly for freeing enough memory with HIMEM to utilize the bottom 640K.

Indeed it was a pitty when Team17 and Psygnosis moved on to other platforms.
