If you're using an Amiga machine as your main, everyday computer, please let us know.  That goes for classic Amiga, OS4 SAM, Morphos machine, AROS machine, or any other flavor of Amiga.  And if that is the case, please give a few quick notes about the positives and negatives of your experience doing so.  What important things are missing?  Have you circumvented any initial problems, etc.?


My main miggie is an A1200 BlizzardPPC/060 240Mhz/60Mhz 256MB RAM / 2 x 500GB IDE HDs / 2 x DVD Burners / SubWay USB / Cocolino Wireless Mouse / Custom Built Audio Amp&Mixer

OS 3.5/4.0

Positives- does everything I require from a computer with ease... :)

Negatives - getting harder to find replacement DVD Burners that will actually work with it... :(

Missing - The internet but only through choice... :)

Problems - Nothing that couldn't easily be solved with a bit of time and patience... ;)

@ Runequester

This might sound a bit strange but having never been in a position where I would need to use a computer for my work, I'm just curious to know what sort of things someone who is required to use a computer at work actually needs to do at home with a computer in connection with their work... :)

Not personal details, just a general idea of why it's needed at home, as I've never known anyone personally who has to do this... :)

Cheers guys :)

Often wondered when some folk have said here that they need a PC or MAC at home for work what they actually used them for... :)

Kinda glad I've never had to take my work home with me "sorry Mrs Johnston but I'll be back with your new kitchen in the morning, I'll just take it home with me tonight and finish it in the spare room after me dinner..." don't think a computer would have helped me much there... :)
