Classic Amigas - Still Useful?

[slaapliedje]

Now that I've managed to figure out why it was randomly crashing (had all the caps replaced by Amigakit!  Thanks guys!), I've been using it a lot more, though I'm still working on getting just the right set up (been through ClassicWB, AmigaSYS4, and Amikit for Real Amigas) and for one reason or another, I have decided that I'm just going to build my own setup from scratch with OS3.9.  

I have everything in my system I want, except for perhaps a USB card and an Accelerator, but I'm running with an A4000D, Mediator 4000Di, ZorRAM 128mb, Radeon 256mb (only have half the ram working, will fix it later), 10/100 ethernet and an 80gb hard drive.

I've got a second fan that I'm going to try out in the PSU to see if I can get it to be a bit more quiet, but other than that, it's quite usable for a lot of things.

@LoadWB  Any chance you'd be willing to not rape me on a price for that CyberStorm MKIII 50MHz 68060 when you are able to get the PPC fixed?

That is exactly how I see things.  In fact, I've been wanting to get my printer working with my A4000D so I can start writing on it instead of my PC, where there are far too many distractions.  With Windows 8 especially, it's become purely a "me too" application store.  

It's also why I dislike Android so much.  People have become only what their search parameters are to Google.  

I think for most people that still use the Amiga, it really is a shot back to the days where there was some magic in computers, and they weren't just another appliance sitting around waiting for someone to look up the newest fail compilation on Youtube.
