I still use Amigas
not just for playing old games, but I actually use them for developing application software, composing music, reading email, browsing the web. All that kind of stuff.

I still have my trusty A500 (with 1 meg upgrade!) set up
Sure, I have an xbox 360 plugged into my 42 inch HDTV, but sometimes I just NEED to play R-Type or Supercars 2!

Until recently
I had:

* Amiga 500
* Amiga 500+
* Amiga 600
* Amiga 1200 with 68060 and network card
* Amiga 1500 with 68030 with network card/gfx card/IO expander
* Amiga 4000 in tower with 68060/PowerPC upgrade, Voodoo 3 gfx card, Repulse soundcard, all kinds of bells and whistles
* AmigaOne XE/G4

But I either sold or gave away all but the AmigaOne and the A1500. I'm going to sell the 1500 as soon as i get it working again, since I only really use the AmigaOne these days.

I think we've talked before
I'm glad that people still use the Amiga, i've never felt the buzz with later games platforms that I had with the Amiga.

I had an A1200
complete with 64mb RAM, 68040, Voodoo 3 and all the gubbins in a tower case.

It was a really nice setup until I killed it by inserting the clocking crystal the wrong way round.

UAE all the way now.

You are my hero.
What do you use for music? I did try to have a play around with ProTracker a few months ago but didn't really get anywhere.

Well, on the oldskool 68k based Amigas
I used Protracker for a long time. I also used AHX, and created a "next generation" AHX called hivelytracker.

HivelyTracker was written for more modern PPC based Amigas, but it was backported by someone else to 68k, but you'll need a 68060 for it to be worth it.

Edit: Some of my Amiga things are listed here.

You were involved with Jurassic Pack?
I remember that one :) Will have to take a nosey at some of the old issues.

I wasn't involved with it at the beginning
I coded a diskmag engine in 1999/2000 for a mag called "Devotion". The mag lasted 2 issues. The Jurassic Pack people liked my mag engine so used it from issue 8 onwards.

Nice!
I have a boxed, new, never used Amiga 1000 complete with its mouse and Kickstart 1.3 disk. One day, I'll unpack the thing and see if it actually powers up. I really regret selling my Amiga 3000T, though, now THAT was a workhorse. Loved software development on that.

Awesomeness
I had an Amiga 1200 towered up in the ICS custom AT Case. PPC&040 board. BVision hooked to it. The works really :)

I used to develop on the Amiga, did some sound bytes for a local radio station. Made some programs and games in AMOS. Gave Blitz Basic a good go too. Did Animations and stuff on DPaint.

Amiga was a fun system to develop on. I dont think ive done much on the PC. Theres just no spirit.
