A lot of great activities there! You're doing more activities with it than I am with mine, although you don't create your own artwork in DPaint, only by ray tracing, which I could never get the hang of. I use my A1200 for creating artwork (after realising that Windows and Linux software was what had stopped me from doing this for years), classic games, demos, and apps, such as budgeting using Personal Finance Manager. Obviously, this includes using Workbench.

I'd really like to know how to get started with Lightwave, how to play MP3s, and how to convert MP3s to MODs. I think using the Internet on my A1200 may prevent me from doing anything else on it, though.

Unfortunately,  I couldn't read the specs at the end of your video under the Guru Meditation. Please will you list the specs here?

Workbench boots in 15 seconds?  Think I timed mine around 5 seconds.

Depends on your WB version/set up.

A full fat 3.9 will take a bit longer than vanilla 3.1 for example

Mine takes about 15 seconds (3.9 + BB2 sans reboot)

True.. I am running OS 3.1 and never really did install 3.9 to see the load times.
