One daily use Amiga X1000
One spare A X100
One spare A1 XE

No PC, no Mac. Certainly no bl@@dy phones!

I use the X1000 for just about everything, its the only option. I refuse to buy a PC for a few web sites that can be troublesome. Most websites are useable using either spoofing or a script to replace dodgy CSS.

If anything needs doing on a computer I use the X1000.

Very occasionally I boot into Linux but not often.

@BillE

My Classic Amigas have been in their boxes for over a month following a house move! Pray that I'd get time to set them up soon or my kids will forget how fun they are and my wife will badger me to sell them!!

I would use my AmigaOne 500 and / or AmigaOne Micro more if I could synchronize the files easier with my Windows 10 clone. That's why I'm writing a mirror / backup program with Visual C++. I'll translate it to OS4 when it's working.

What use to me is my Amiga
by Agami

What use to me is an object, made back in '93
Is it as useful now as it certainly was then?
Can it inspire me and set my creativity free
or has it joined the typewriter and the mighty pen?

What use to me is an idea, so old it's in a museum
does it even exist if no one gives it a thought?
Can it alter my world, if it be the bare minimum
or is my altering world with amnesia fraught?

What use to me are my teen years, and the life once lived
A much different person thinks these thoughts now,
Or am I still in there, and the old me deceived
And to bring him out, does anyone know how?

What use to me is my Amiga, someone once asked
And I'm sure a simple answer was expected?
It's and object and and idea, and a time machine unmasked
That transports me to the emotions, long neglected.

@BigD

Thx for your encouragement with regards to my recent work on another thread, the first Amiga animation project in years! I also uploaded a re-mastered version of a very old project; I explain in another thread you might like to check out...…

Virtual RoquAlity

As for Hollywood, I don't think it would be a good replacement for me for AnimatED, I'm happy with the software as it is, I'd just like it to run faster, maybe with PPC recognition, and without the crippling audio limitations caused by CHIP RAM dependency! Uurrgh!
