Most of us dopers access the internet using PCs.

A few use Macs.

The [AmigaOne](http://amiga.emugaming.com/eye_amyone.html)was [released](http://www.eyetech.co.uk/amigaone/oct252002a.php) in 2002. It runs AmigaOS 3.9 (or the soon-to-be-released 4.0) on a PowerPC architechture. It also runs LinuxPPC.

Oh, I loved my Amiga \<sigh\>

As a sidenote, there is a website somewhere that has a C64 running as the server.  
Honestly.

It’s not my main PC anymore, but I do have a “classic Amiga” (an A3000T/68040 for the curious) that I use for occasional graphics and Video Toaster work. It has Internet access and some older Web apps: browsers like ibrowse and AWeb II, and a mail client called yam.
