Yup, easy use of the internet and creating 'Doomy' videos that's about it... :)

(perhaps the 'Doomy' videos thing is a positive though... :lol: )

@ commodorejohn

But an x86 is not a Classic Amiga and who need PhotoShop when we have ImageFX... :)

However there is one thing you CAN do on the Amiga that you can't do on most other computers... ;)

That is, spend a fortune on old hardware that no-one outside the Amiga community would even dare think of doing... :lol:

Emulation.
8 -> 32bit computers, handhelds and consoles.  

I know a PPC equiped Amiga can just about do passable emulation of the C64 but what about CPS2, NeoGeo etc?


On my Blizzard060/PPC, you can emulate the C64 at full fps & fullscreen gfx using a PPC version of Frodo... :)

Open a Docx file from work/friends/family.  Edit 14 MP raw images, Edit HD video, sync my iPhone.  That's just off the top of my head.


Seems kinda weird to me that you'd want to use an Amiga to do any of that stuff... :confused:
