Used to be Amiga-only but when I went to college in 2000 I bought a PC, and I still am using the same PC eversince (only upgraded the mem and videocard).

Apart from that I have an towered A1200 with Bliz040/603e@175MHz. And a bogstandard A1200 lying in the corner of my room in front of the TV. But I hardly ever use my Amigas, I hope to change that when OS4 will be available for my crappy Blizz.



I once owned a CDTV (WHY DID I EVER SELL IT :-x), and an A2000.

My next goal is to acquire an CDTV and expand it to the max :-).

Well I own a PC but I would still say I am amiga only. The PC gets turned on at the same time as my amiga (as soon as I get up), however I almost always forget to log into it. The only reason its on is because it powers my monitor. modem and speakers. The only thing I use it for is Kazaa, the very occasional website, some PDF stuff and for when ideots send me M$ word documents. Oh and for the record its a P120 with 32mb of ram and a 2mb 2D only gfx card. My miggy on the other hand is an A1200T, PPP@160/040@25, 128mb ram, Bvision, CDRW, 20GIG HDD etc etc :)
Yours

I owned only Amigas until about a year ago.
Then I bought an iBook. I still use my Amiga every day though.

Now, if only that AmigaOne-XE motherboard would arrive soon :)

I used to be able to say that I was "Amiga only".  Since the company I work for started their laptop program, I've had a Win-DOHS laptop for quite a while now.  Although I use my A4000T less now, mainly because IE/Mozilla/Netscape handle web sites better, it still gets used every day.  And, it stays on 24x7 'cause it's running my website with the Amiga version of Apache.  Wanna see?

My computers

I also have an old macII and an a500 lying around.  I intend to upgrade the A1200 properlywhen I have the time & money so I could use it more often.

Hmm, I think people just hate PC's for the sake of it really, I admit Windows is a bit annoying, but still.
Restraining orders are just another way of saying I love you!

I own both PC's and my A1200. One of the PC's doesn't get used much anymore (hard drive is going out). The other PC gets used too much. My biggest problem in getting around to use the A1200 is time. The pressures of family and church responsibilities eat up most all my free time. From time to time I fire up the miggy and check to be sure it's working. Actually, my oldest son spents more time on it than I do, playing Scorched Tanks. The miggy has an 68030 50MHz w/ FPU @50MHz and SCSI-2 interface. I need to put in the 3.1 ROM's I got a year ago and install WB3.1, but again it's time thing.

Anyway of slowing down the earth's rotation to a 30 hour day? :idea:  The extra time sure would be nice! :lol:

Until two weeks ago I was Amiga ONLY, using my A1200T for my computing needs.

Now have a MAC also....

Still have and use the Amiga, all be it in another room.

Bilgatos Borg still aint got me  yet......................

I've said it before and I say it again, I only use my PC's because of the games. (Falcon 4, Morrowind f.ex)

And up until 2 weeks ago that was all I used it for, but now I'm getting heavily into Cinema 4D (for PC that is.).

Otherwise it's all Amiga... :)

Hi there

Well, here's an amiga only owner. I have an A1200 in a Power Tower with 060/PPC+SCSI, BVision and let me tell you that it's a joy to use it everyday, mostly if you comeback from work late at night where you've been using PCs. I have another bare A1200 used for old games. In fact, I've never had any other computer but amiga (well, I started with a commodore 64, then a C128, A500)..

I don`t hate Windows, but I`d prefer not to use it. Its also a hobby and something different to do, supporting Amiga. I don`t like to follow what everbody does just cause its the norm. I`m no sheep.

As I`ve said 1,000 times. The only 2 things making a PC tempting is 3D applications and Flight simulators. We have a possible solution to the 3D thing, but when is somebody going to make a flightsim!? Porting one would do me for a while!

Yup - i  have only got amigas at home  :)
My main computer is an a1200 060 + 240mhz ppc + bvision. Im rather happy with with - but it's getting kind of sluggish when im working with high-res gfx.

Hopefully amigaONE will speed things up :)  hmm... and i need some decent gfx-program on os4.0 too -  (photogenics would be nice).
