3.5 on a Frankensteined A1200 with PPC. Built a PC in 2000 and moved on to W2k.

AmigaOS 3.0 - when the crud happened between H&P and P5 I pretty much gave up any hope of the Amiga doing anything worthwhile and that's where she has sat for the past .. 12 years or so.

Power up the beast every now and then to make sure its all good.

I was using WB3.0 on my A1200HD, then I bought a Commodore 486 in 1994.

3.1 on a A1200 with a 33.6 modem, moved to a pc due to it getting harder to use the internet with it, also wanted to play some of the latest games on the pc.

Edit: Hmm may have even been 3.0.

Used 3.1 when my uncle decided I needed a PC instead. Must have been around '98-'99.

2.04 on my own A500 and 3.0 on the loaner A1200 I occasionally had. Got a PC to use as my main box in 1996, kept the Amigas around though. :-)

The question doesn't make any sense to me, fortunately :)

I got my PCs (laptops) through work for years before I bothered to buy one, and the first "PC" I bought was the old xbox. After that I have bought a large handfull of PCs, but none of them were instead of any Amiga system, but in addition to.

The question assumes you went from amiga to a PC or Mac (sorry, Franko :) )

What was the amiga OS you ran, at the time your amiga was no longer your primary computer?

What do you run on your main amiga today? (whichever one you use the most)


WB 3.0

WB 1.3

Respectively.

OS 3.1 on an A2000.

EDIT: Actually I got my first PC before. So the last Amiga OS before that in fact was OS 2.0 on an A500 for me. Today I mostly run 2.05 (A600) and 3.0 (A1200).

3.0 On my A1200. I still own the same A1200. My Father bought a PC about the same time, a 50MHz Blue lightning based beastie with the cirrus logic gfx chip on a custom daughterboard. It was faster than any PC that anyone else I knew owned so I borrowed it for playing doom. He ended up being busy with other things and his PC would have just gathered dust if I hadn't used it so he ended up giving it to me, hurah! My first PC.

The funny bit is, I considered my Amiga to be my "proper" computer and the PC was an overpowered toy. LMAO, I still loved them both.

Now my Amiga is a hobby machine and my PC a necessity, but it's not so much fun anymore.
Falling into a dark and red rage.

WB1.3 on my A500. I mainly played games on my A500.
I then got a Pentium 100Mhz system in mid 1996. I got back to Amiga in the early 2000s with an expanded A1200 060 system and I started using WB3.1. Eventually, I upgraded to 3.9.

I've never really stopped using the Amiga since I got back into it, but it was never meant to replace my PC (and later Macs), but rather just kind of act as an alternative and it was fun to play games and tinker around with different hardware expansions (it still is).

Last I ran before I switch was WB 3.1.  Today, I still have my Edge LE (AROS) box.

v1.3(A500) and KERNAL(C64). Geez, I used those exclusively up until the second half of the 90s.
