I use my X1000 for these basic things on a mostly daily basis.
IRC, SMTube to download YouTube vids to my X, play music with AmiAmp, check amiga related emails with YAM, basic browsing of all Amiga related content from Odyssey.
All things I can do from my Intel i7 box with loonix or OS X from my Mac Mini or Macbook Pro, but seems more fun doing it on my X1000.
Also watch Dr Who on my X all the time as I have a boatload of those on there.
Occasional play a game or two. Keeps it busy.

So, first, I got my first Amiga in 1985 and have 3 in the house now, not counting my SAM440ep Flex, which is an Amiga more or less.
I've been keeping it updated and fiddling with apps.
The thing is, when I fire it up, I never find a compelling reason to keep using it daily. It is sitting beside my quad-core 3.4GHz Core i7 iMac w/ 3 screens and I _want_ to use it but I think I just don't have the apps to keep my interest.
I've got the WebKit browser, and WookieChat (I am an IRC guy). What else is there that might keep me day to day on it? Is there a way to control it remotely from the office via VNC? MilkyTracker is fun. I like Quake on it as it has the software rendered and is fast. Generally, tho, games are not my interest on the machine.
Ideas? I am unlikely to shut the Mac off for a month and only use the SAM, so what can I do to keep it nifty? Asking for help and ideas here.
Thanks.
