Y'know, I would point out that it's still fun to try things (witness my running Quake on Win-UAE) from time to time, other things not so much, on the Amiga much in the same way its fun to tinker with just about any old hardware. I'd LOVE to have a Xerox STAR, or an Apple Lisa (or IIgs) to mess around with. Some computer here recently (a line of MSX machines?) actually got a Win95 like GUI based OS written for it - and it was most assuredly an 8 bit rig or 16/8 bit. I'm sure someone will correct me there.
But the point is, for my day to day computing, the Amiga's no substitute for what I need out of a computer. When I made the jump I was using Netscape 3.0 before the Amiga had a browser (other than ALynx), Microsoft Office, playing games in a window on the desktop, etc. It hurt me to see all of that - for years I'd assumed a PC was some DOS prompt only, four color "thing" that went BEEP BEEP BEEP.
But in 1994, my expectations were totally blown away, and I had a machine that was entirely usable, and, I daresay, none too shabby at "doing" multimedia.
