Going amiga-amish for a bit

[runequester]

Looks like RAM went bad in my PC. I don't have the funds to replace that until I get paid again, so it looks like I will be amiga only for a little bit.

Ever been in a similar situation?

[runequester]

Yes. I have taken a few enforced Amiga only holidays from my laptop. It was quite refreshing but I wouldn't want to do it for longer than two weeks.

well, it's a week and a half until I get paid again,so I think it'll be pretty fun for a survival trip. I had done a similar experiment a ways back, but only got around to the preparation stage, so I guess we'll see how it goes

[runequester]

okay that's pretty hardcore for both of you

Ibrowse does okay for forum stuff, and a bit of a detox from wasting time on the internet might be good (though I might end up wasting that time playing Chaos Engine instead..)

XDelusion, appreciate the offer anyways

PowerBook with MorphOS is not an Amiga precisely, but can be considered a similar situation IMHO. Then in my case this situation is permanent. I have a PC only at work and turn it on only if I have no other choice (happens a few times a month).

Oh wow. So MOS is your main OS then?

Care to tell us more about your experiences?

[runequester]

Turns out a friend of mine will let me cannibalize his old PC so i should be okay. Thanks though! Everyone is so cool.

Ill just enjoy the amiga this week as a "vacation"

I must say the urge to get an old mac and MOS showed itself last night though

[runequester]

Yes,every day to be exact.The store email is handled through yam on my A4000 csppc mediator setup and i use it for picture editing etc. the deneb USB works well.workbench at 1920x1280x32 is nice.
Ibrowse actually works with my banking,credit card sites and such.

Nice, so your 4000 is your main computer then?

I imagine that is a lot easier with graphics card and a PPC accelerator though
