There is only one reason for me to use windows-machine at home and that is Worms Reloaded. Gotta have my daily fix ;-)

Hmm, I live in NZ. But what RAM do you need, might be able to source some for free depending on what you need.

Turns out a friend of mine will let me cannibalize his old PC so i should be okay. Thanks though! Everyone is so cool.

Ill just enjoy the amiga this week as a "vacation" :)

I must say the urge to get an old mac and MOS showed itself last night though :)

Looks like RAM went bad in my PC. I don't have the funds to replace that until I get paid again, so it looks like I will be amiga only for a little bit.

Ever been in a similar situation?


Yes,every day to be exact.The store email is handled through yam on my A4000 csppc mediator setup and i use it for picture editing etc. the deneb USB works well.workbench at 1920x1280x32 is nice.
Ibrowse actually works with my banking,credit card sites and such.

Nice, so your 4000 is your main computer then?

I imagine that is a lot easier with graphics card and a PPC accelerator though :)

I think an Amiga for webbrowsing is even safer than anything else. No worries about virus/malware etc..

Not sure if a Amiga 'only' computing is bad, its different. The time i had an Amiga there was not much of web as it is today. More Fido and some web.

I wouldn't want to do amiga only for 2 long but its a nice break.

If you really want to have some fine, try making your only connection to the internet through telnet for a time.

There is a surprising # of telnet systems still out there.
