I run WinUAE and a copy of ClassicWB ADV in the background while at work. Often I'm listening to mods downloaded from Aminet. The Amiga had a great music scene. I keep an AmigaShell open and edit C code in Vim and compile it using SAS/C. I plan to do some 68000 assembly. Like Attic Greek, Amiga 3.X is a dead and a stable platform to develop for. The "Amiga Hardware Reference Manual" and the "Amiga Guru Book" have very detailed information for would-be Amiga programmers.

Having never grown up with an Amiga, this hobby can not be attributed to nostalgia. The Amiga has a damn fine UI and a nice DOS environment. Netsurf has recently been ported to it, so it now has a decent browser, though it is only practical in emulation or until Natami comes out.

I never got into AmigaOS 4.X or MorphOS. It would be great if the source for 3.X were opened
