  Create my web pages

  Notepad should be sufficient.
  
  

  Run a word processor

  There are plenty of options to choose from. Kindwords, Word Perfect 4 and Finalwriter 97 to mention few.
  
  

  Run a data base

  LiteSQL port does exist.
  
  

  play music

  play videos

  No probs. FullHD may have some minor issues though.
  
  

  Print using a HP Inkjet printer

The only thing that I will continue using my pc for is for WoW and FPS games, basicly another video gaming console, like an XBOX.

No idea about HP Inkjet printer. My BJC-4000 was supported but I dont remember was it HP or Canon brand.

Millions of people are fed up with Microshaft and Winblows and are looking for an alternative platform. I would like to help ACube Systems push the Amiga One platform here in the USA. It is time for the Amiga computer to return. This time, with myself leading the team here in America, and providing we can get the financial backing we will need, the Amiga will be the number one personal computer in the world. We will spend millions of dollars on advertising. We will actually state that the Amiga computer is the best personal computer in the world, always has been, and we will dare Microsoft, Intel, and Apple to prove us wrong. I will do what Commodore should have done to begin with. I WILL NOT DROP THE BALL!

Sounds cool.

What I mean is, if I do "get the ball" I will not drop it, like Commodore did. ACube Systems are on the right track with their boards and Amiga OS 4.1. But, they should think world-wide, not just Europe. Most of you have given up hope on the Amiga, and to you, it is just a hobby. Well, I know that the Amiga can become a mainstream computer. In fact, with the right marketing stratagy, the Amiga computer can be number one. It takes a person with Amiga-size balls to do it, that person is me. If you want to beat the big boys, you have to be aggressive. If they think that I actually pose a threat to their business, they will first offer to buy me. If that does not work, they will have me killed! But, that is the chance I am willing to take, for a computer that I really do believe in.

Millions of people, all over the world, are fed up with Windows, Intel, and the over-priced Apple computers. Now is the perfect time to bring back the Amiga.

Oddly, fear of being killed over this is not a new thought.
The author of "freeamiga" posted that same concern on AW back in the day.

And apparently, you've missed a longer thread about Would you support a company that decided to support Amiga?

You need to catch up.

Actually I have been following that thread off and on. However I don't really see much in there that hasn't already been played in one form or another over the past 12 years. If things ever get out of the "Hey Gang let's put on a musical! We can use that barn down the road and I know a Hollywood star who's just dying for a launching pad to Broadway!" stage then maybe something worth commenting on will appear. You know, a solid product, actually being produced in quantity, for sale, and actually having something to do with the real Amiga. Until then it's just more of same.

OT, but I'm more interested in reading about RoqueFort's struggles with his UPS. Specifically, how did he manage to plug a keyed connector in the wrong way?

Someone is just bound to steal that line unless you ® it.

"ACube Systems are on the right track with their boards and Amiga OS 4.1"

Yeah because selling 10 year old spec hardware for MORE than todays spec prices is the right track, using an os that doesn't do flash, smp, overlay or any other modern os features. is that really "on the right track"?

some people are just delusional when they link os4 has any hope of gaining any significant market share. Its a hobby os, and unless they port to hw that makes sense (arm or intel) and do significant work on the os so that it can compete with modern os systems like windows,osx or linux, thats where it will stay.

Haven't found a NG Amiga system yet that can even come close to serving as a replacement for my Windows PC's, unfortunately. That includes my SAM and Mac Mini.

[haywirepc]

Whats frustrating is that each NG option has problems...

Os4 systems too slow to do anything, won't running many classic games right without frame skipping and stuttering sound,no youtube, no good apps for creative folks (video or audio editors?) crazy expensive.

I think morphos inexpensive hw is too slow for many things... which is unfortunate because the cost of ownership is much lower than os4.

Aros is looking like the option that has the best chance of being able to be an everyday os, because it will run on fast hardware but it really needs better browsing like morphos, and a way to support multiple cores (same for morph and os4) Its a waste running aros on a dual or quad core intel pc.

All of the systems are decent, but no replacement for your everyday work os.

I hope they all continue to improve.

[XDelusion]

Hd-Rec and OctaMED Sound Studio (with Maestrix) work like a charm from what I've seen.

Not rich enough to own OS 4 my self though. :/

Some Amiga 68K programs require the Classic Amiga chipset or some stuff from AmigaOS 3.1.

I think Brilliance 2.0 might be one of these programs. It crashes immediately if I try to launch it directly on OS4, but it is quite happy with AmigaOS 3.1 running on the OS4 PPC version of E-UAE. I use an older version of E-UAE than the one distributed with the latest version of OS4. Just haven't got around to upgrading to the newer version of E-UAE.

Just to clarify... I tried Brilliance 2.0 only. Brilliance 1.0 uses a dongle.

Final Writer 97, Cloanto Personal Paint and TVPaint run fine directly on OS4 and do not require E-UAE.

On OS4.0 I got Brilliance/True Brilliance V2 working by using ModePro using multiple screen definitions. Unfortunately, like DPaint, it is not fully functional despite a patch that was developed.
The interesting part though is that I have different screens (Brilliance picture/Brilliance Menu) on the same monitor at the same time, without need to use mouse to bring up the menu.
