Does anyone here solely use a Classic Amiga?

I thought of doing it as an experiment.
 
I wanna start doing some audio, once I get a better mouse and my accelerator card, but 90% of my gaming is on the amiga.
The remaining 10% is pretty much Steel Panthers remakes on the PC and Hearts of Iron

the internet is the big limiter, but as someone has pointed out, these days with stuff like iphone, evo and other smart phones, peecees are almost being superceded anyways

You people are awesome

after reading this thread, Im very tempted to try, though I doubt I'll ever put my 1200 online

Online for filetransfers it's very easy even with stock system, but for browsing and other more complex tasks it would require some heavy upgrading.

well, I got a PCMCIA compact flash kit for transferring files, so thats pretty covered.

I got a 486 in 93/94 but my A1200 was still my main machine, the PC was for Uni specific work (things like writing Dbase 3+ code etc).

I think that all stopped a couple of years later when I got a Pentium MMX machine and used that for VCDs and Netscape.

PC games were boring most of the time in the mid 90s I found, I really didn't like all that CD-ROM FMV crap like 7th Guest or Megarace or the million and one point and click adventures like Sam & Max/Day of the Tentacle....now with sampled sound woooo (been there, done all that years before).

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.

virtually everything I ended up learning about dos (even in the early windows days) and all that was from trying to get damn games to actually run.
Bloody hell.

I finally let go of the amiga in 98 or so, but I used the computers at school for internet access.
