So what do people do with their Amigas on Amiga.org?

An Amiga user understands how to multitask, we can surf the web, eat and defecate at the same.

Best post of the day!

Hey, that was a good video! I don't understand model trains though. I mean, there is only so many ways to do a circle. Wouldn't it be better to play with trains on a simulator instead? Maybe A-Train?

I use my A1200 to test my game ports (I actually do the coding on the PC).

I also use it for retro gaming (WHDLOAD), playing demos and playing my own game ports (extended beta testing) and I love customizing WB (OS 3.9) to see how good and how fast I can get it.

Finally I like adding new hardware to my 20 year old Amiga (eg HDMI output)

Well, I expand my machines until they are at my liking both added hardware and own mods.
Then I play around with WB and when im happy with it i code in AMOS pro and play around with deluxepaint and I also play games via WHDLoad and listen to music

A long time ago, I purchased the Amiga 2000HD for an easy to use system for me, my wife and very young son.  We had some kid's programs, Appetizer collection, the Critics Choice collection, AmigaVision, Final Writer, Quarterback and Quarterback Tools.  Upgraded Final Writer a few times to Final Writer 97.  Later, I used the A2000HD for dial-up internet access at 19.2Kbps using AmiTCP/IP, ppp.device and AWeb-II.  It was slow to render web pages, but I was amazed at what the A2000HD could do with no accelerator card (68000 CPU only).

My son is now an adult and has zero interest in Amiga stuff.

I use my PPC system for web browsing, email (via webmail), Final Writer 97, some paint programs and tinkering with ARexx.

A2000HD is now retired, but still works.  Needs a new floppy drive.

I agree. They have use in depicting scenes of past times. I enjoy railroad archaeology myself and watching real trains go about their business.

The important thing about the video is the short introduction, which I did on my A3000 with DeluxePaint4.

Well there is , than there is, but I really like, ahhh no, I would rather use, but only when I am really bored, but I really want to use but will set that up tomorrow. Then there are but only on Sunday when I have enought time off to use it, because it has a steep learning curve. And don't you think that is really exciting, and that is so awesome.

This guy has some serious issues.

Well that explains what I use my Amiga for and it is really great for everything that I mentioned above.

You don't even have an Amiga, do you?

Maybe smerf is an Acorn user that got lost?

OK, but when do you folks have time for sex?
Please don't tell me its concurrent.

Steve Jobs was quoted saying: "My girlfriend is always laughing during sex - no matter what she is reading."

Nostalgia;  Games and Mod playing.

Smerf is lost, period
