Any old Amiga users among us?
Shades:
Directory Opus and CygnusEd...those were the tools I used most on my Amiga's. Actually, I have switched between all existing models at some point in time (except the A3000 and A4000).
My latest was an A1200 which I stripped out of it original casing and put it into a high tower PC case, together with a hard drive (1GByte!), 68030 (50MHz), 18Mbyte RAM (2MByte internal with a 16MByte SIMM module on my Blizzard expansion) and rewired keyboard controller for a A2000 keyboard.
And I'll bet the thing would still boot if I could turn it on today...but alas, several thousands of miles are between my personae and that Amiga. :(
4wd:
My 132MB A3000 + CyberStorm PPC 180/060, (+ Picasso IV, PabloIV, ConciertoIV), still does boot, (faster than my XP machine), but damn, did the Quantum Trailblazer 850MB run hot until the lube in the bearings finally remelt :)
About the only thing I fire Amiga Forever up for these days is when I really want to do some fast scripting and nothing beats ARexx for just getting the job done.
MerleOne:
I am an oldie as well.
Would you please list any software you use on your Amigas or on Uae nowadays?

On UAE (AmigaForever) I mainly use demos and a few games. I sometimes use the wonderful lha. License was incredibly hard to get from its developer, and it's lost now... I also use DirWork, but again, no license any longer and the config I had is gone too.

:-* Ah: those were the days... scripting access to every programme in a very easy way.

The other thing I really miss occasionally is being able to activate a window without it coming to the front.
Is it really so hard to implement and make an option in Windows?
