Thanks so much for the input again! Yes a dedicated machine would always be
my first choice! I don't need to locate any - must have at least 4 I could
use on my office floor ;-) If was to go this way I'd been keep to try it out
on Amithlon as I have a spare old IBM that runs it perfectly! Sadly i'm not
in a position to run real hardware continually connected to the Internet
anytime in the near future. So.. Cloud based Amiga project it is! Wish my
luck! ;-)
