so what do you DO with your amigas?

[XDelusion]

You DO porn with your Amiga? Well, I guess there's a market for everything..

It sounded amusing at the moment.

At the moment not much

Ah.....never thought of that. RSPCA "You said that Dandy told you to kill that Cat", Me "Yes, on Amiga.Org its where the Cat Killers chat." Queue picture of that Cat with Rifle

Hehe - got that from "Dinner For One", where Mr. Winterbottom says to Miss Sophie "Uhhh - I'll kill that cat!" around the end of the sketch...

[XDelusion]

Very good!

so what do people actually do with their amigas these days?

Whether its a classic machine, a pimped out hybrid beast, a PPC amiga, AROS or just some UAE for a rainy day

Nothing fancy... I usually check out webpages with MorphOS OWB, play videos with MorphOS MPlayer and code a little. With my classics I watch demos and sometimes also code a few lines, from time to time I paint some pixels with DPaint or PPaint. Sometimes I launch a pair of whdload games. I used to like configuring my systems to the max but I don't have much time for that.

My wife plays Loopz on my A1200 all the time, 200k on level 3.
My A4000 fires up and plays from my Mods and S3M collection with Eagle player while I work on my PeeCee
My top A500 stops the other 3 from getting dusty.
My A2000 sits there quietly under my A4000 wondering why it gets no love.
"To have and to hold" is their main purpose.

Mostly I repair my Amigas, reinstall them and watch them break again.

I hear ya there.
I use to do that a lot. Got to the point when I figured it'd be best to quit torturing myself with data loss and hardware failure and do something productive. So I bought a Playstation. heh
~A4000D VT/Flyer down in the basement (with all the other Amiga stuff) gets fired up every few days. Mostly tinker with the configuration and software. Finally eliminated the scsi error from halting playback of clips with digital wipes. Managed to make a small commercial TV ad lastyear with the anticipation of doing it again this year.  
~A3000 sets next to the VT/Flyer. Trying to get the scsi header on the Warp40 to function so I can install an extra HD to use with the AD516. So far, no go.
~A1200 gets shuffled around on the bench. Needs the battery changed on the Apollo'40. Wanted to get it going with games, but I'm playing the Divorce/Bankrupt level of life right now...

That was fun!

I use my Amiga as my main graphics editing platform (ImageFX, Aladdin4d, DPaint, etc.).

Otherwise, for MIDI stuff (Bars & Pipes).  There is no better MIDI sequencer.

I have several hardware Amigas that need repair.  I'm using a WinUAE setup right now that just functions so smoothly and feels so real that I sometimes forget I'm not working on a "real" Amiga (it's a real Amiga to me and I get a lot done with it).

- 68030 programming.
- Games.
- Playing 16 bit 28 KHz stereo wavs for the novelty value (sounds pretty good).

I bought my self an old Amiga 600 "Junebug" last year, in almost fabric  new conditions. I couldnt stand not to be able of using and playing on  amiga systems no more.



I use this machine with standard settings, an extra disc drive, 6gb of  harddrive space and workbench 2.04. Its been really fun to get  everything to work propertly and my old games runs just fine too, 15+  year old diskettes, not much but ive got a few left.

Main purpose of my machine is showing friends how amazing the classic  commondore amiga really is and give them a bit of understanding towards  amiga, then would it be nice to be able of drawing in deluxe paint or  making music just for fun. May let my a600 attenting on my schools game  party event the 28th this month too. :rolleyes:

Set my current aim on buying a new X1000 when they comes out, wish they  wont cost a fortune like back in the days. Sell it cheap now and they  might be able of doing a change in history, but guess they cant afford a  stunt like that though, better to play it safe.

Whats the joystick in that picture called? I had one as a kid and I loved it, plus its a proper two button stick.

That's a Wico Command Control joystick. I have several of these. They're not discrete 2-button joys either. The switch under the stick allows you to switch between base or stick fire buttons. That's it. I did just modify one for use on an Atari 7800 proper though, so it can be done. You need a Sega Genesis cable though if you want to perform the mod. Same thing if you want to turn it into a 2-button Amiga joystick.

I write text adventures! (watch me do it :p)

Way cool.

Yep, that is cool.

You know what, to hell with all this modern crap. I'm firing my PCs out the 'window' right now, yeah!
