I once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.
Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

I had one.
1GB HDD, OpalVision 24Bit card and a legit copy of Lightwave 3.5 (£800!) bought it for 3D rendering stuff to video.
Just shy of £3500 for the lot (this is 1994 BTW), Commodore went under a few months later. :( Got about £500 back about a year later when I finally chopped it in for a PC.
Still got an A1200 set up in the loft though.

I regret nothing. Last Christmas was a heroic orgy of Supercars II, Alien Breed, SWOS and Xenon II. Next Christmas will be too although I have managed to add Zeewolf, the Lotus series and bloody dozens of others so it will be EVEN BETTER.

Best Gaming EVAR!
Elite and the floppy with my pilot save on it were the only two disks near my A500 for about 6 months.
Micro Machines was another complete time sink, and don't even get me started on Moonstone! (Just nipping up to the loft, BRB!)

Moonstone fucking rocked, but mine crashed far too often:
When the 2 big blue fuckers swung their clubs at exactly the same time from either side of the screen
When the big mud monster thing with a skull for a head did its big drag-you-under attack
When you killed one of the cpu controlled knights, they'd sometimes have a round grey ball in their inventory (which I assumed was a moonstone?) - scrolling the mouse over it would crash
On the final whirlwind whip boss, for no real reason.
Still ... what a game! I now have the music from the dice game at the tavern in my head.

If you stood at the right spot under its neck and stabbed up it was a piece of piss. Then you got loads of gold and weapons (like the sword of sharpness).

Yeah dragon was piss once you knew how, the game was more just pot luck if I could keep it from crashing!
Sword of Sharpness ftw

That's one hell of a loss!
The A4000 was a total beast of a machine. I remember some software and upgrade where you could fit a PC board inside, and a Mac board (if you were able to get one) and have three computers in the one box. I am certain there was something like that, back in the day ("Citation needed", as they say on Wikipedia).
There is YouTube footage of modified Amiga's able to browse the internet and perform Mp3 playing just like a PC we come to take for granted if you look out for it.
