I have 6 Amigas now, including a vanilla A2000, four A4000Ds an A4000T, a couple of them are running Cyberstorms....point is I have extra stuff, processors and MBs, lots of strange stuff. I have this idea of making a virtual beast from all these guys along with a couple Intergraph workstations running unix. I am a sculptor as well and I do a lot of nice relief work in wood. I have a great collection of black walnut, butternut, oak, maple etc and I figured I could build an interface unit from a carved desk with all the guts built into the desk itself. I thought I could devise a mobile unit, maybe a wireless laptop kinda thing, maybe even make the case out of some sculpted material...ever hear of cuirboilli? It's the stuff samuri make their armor from and it can be molded into any shape, it's light and can be as tough as steel....since it deflects swords, ya know. If your laptop unit gets made and the process is available, I'd like to try something really beautiful as well as using these Cyberstorms and Toasters so that the final product kicks ass. If you make something impressive enough we might just get some notice from the press and show people that far from being dead in the water, the Amiga now has an existance rather like them old Chevys that show up with hemi V8s and custom bodies....get my drift? People should be encouraged to think outside the "box" and use the creative potential of the Amiga in new and exciting ways. Anyway, that's how I look at it. Maybe I'm just a freak in love with a has-been computer, but, man, I do so love making animations and playing those silly games. I also run a drafting business with one of my A4000's so I know it can be a formidable professional machine! Yahoo! :-D
