Nope it's not, just a generic x86 machine in a zero footprint case with AmigaOS runnning in emulation on it.

Also please fix your posting. The link fcuks up the entire page layout.

Technically you can run OS4 on an BPCC+BVision but the problem is that only beta-testers can get their hands on OS4, it's not released yet. Nor does it look like it will be released anytime soon :(.

I sold my BlizPPC because I got tired waiting for a proper OS for it. I decided 68k only was more fun than waiting for the next gen Amiga(OS) to come round Real Soon Now =).

Bother? Questions are a great deal why there are things like a.org =).

You can use the internet on a miggy yes. Be aware that the browsers are prehistoric and without extra graphics hardware it will be dogslow in 256 colours max. on an A1200 or A4000. A high end 68k (040 or 060) would also be needed to make it remotely comfortable.

If by listening music you mean MP3s, well, that is possible with 68k but anything below a 060 and it hogs up the CPU. There is however extra addon hardware available (MASPlayer) which hooks to the parallel port and takes the decoding load off the CPU. There are ofcourse also a gazillion mod files available which doesnt take alot of CPU oomph to play.

And there are plenty of art packages available indeed.
