I would be genuinely interested to know from folk out there what they consider the benefits of using an Amiga emulator or other Amiga set up they have that's not an original piece of Amiga hardware ie: not an A500/600/1200/2000/4000 etc.. :)

I don't want this to become another Amiga Vs PC debate/debacle (I think we've all had enough of that one), but would like to know what you consider the best reasons for using such a set up are, how easy it is or otherwise to maintain such a system, in terms of hardware / software  availability, OS type used and general  ease of use without going into too much technical detail about it. :)

I ask because if you've read any of my previous posts I guess I come over as some sort of die hard Amiga hardware only fanatic, who's still living in the past, as many folk have kindly pointed out. ;)

I would really like to hear folks reasons or opinions on this, after reading many posts from such users on this forum, I am seriously considering giving it a go and would really like to know what folk use and consider the best way to go about this would be.

I'm not giving up my classic Amiga set ups, :) but I am considering dabbling in the dark side to see for myself. :D

Cheers :drink:

I moved on to the PC years ago.  I was upset when AOL and CompuServe started offering ways to get on the internet.  So I called them when I owned my Amiga 500.  "I need one of your disks so I can get on the internet" I said.  They replied... "Is this IBM Compatible or is it Macintosh Compatible?"  I said, "its Amiga Compatible or Commodore Compatible."  That's when they let me down, and said... "I am sorry, we only offer programs for the IBM or Mac."  That really made me mad, and I knew I couldn't afford two computers, so I ended up selling the Amiga 500 and got my first PC.  I regretted that ever since, and now with WinUAE, I can sorta get back and enjoy the Amiga again.  Back then I ran BBSes, and that's what I am doing with it today, running a board.
