It was always fun with my Amiga 500 playing copies from my friends, but what would I be using one now for?

Ta. Thanks

I'm sorry I have to do this, since it's pretty much in my nature not to hurt innocent people.

You're only limited by your imagination, whether its an Amiga, or PC or Mac..or whatever.  I prefer the Amiga because it is conducive to creative thought, not anethma to it like windoze and mac.

This must rate as one of the strangest threads in a long time. It appears to be malicious but I'm not sure. So, gezbelle, are you pro or against Amiga and why ?

Amiga500 is good for old games :-)

The only Amiga i use now is my AmigaOne G4 1Ghz, 52Mb ram, Radeon 9250.

It is the second computer i use most after my MacPro.
