I'd like an Indivision ECS, but all spending has to wait while I catch up on my bills.

A web browser I can use for *ALL* my daily tasks.

OWB and Timberwolf are great, but there's no way in hell I can use either for 100% of my web browsing and cloud needs.  We're not talking luxuries like watching 100 Youtube vids a day, I'm talking secure, full functionality with all online services.

I've tried to use my MOS and OS4 machines solely for the day to day tasks I need to do online and neither cut it - I often find myself hopping on the Windows machine or worse yet, grabbing my smartphone or tablet.

That's interesting, because most of my browsing is done under Odyssey (and I spoof as an iPad when viewing Youtube videos).
Except for the lack of Java support (Flash is less important to me as html5 seems to becoming more prevalent), I get along fine with it for most uses.
It would be nice if Timberwolf had the full functionality of Firefox, but that's just not likely to ever be a reality.

I can understand keeping a Windows machine around (even when using OSX I have Parallels install to run Windows and Windows apps).

But, since my primary needs are for a simple browser and a word processor, I'm pretty happy using Odyssey and Cinnamon Writer (thanks Claus) under MorphOS.

always  wanted a squirel mpeg card for a1200..

I've always wondered why no one has written drivers for Creative Lab's DXR3 mpeg cards (for Amigas equipped with a PCI expansion bus).
Since Linux drivers exist, there is a model to follow.
