I guess 99% of my business office work is still done on this 17 year old
SARPC using Ovation Pro, Eureka, Draw and Zap.
(There are a couple of customers who only want paperwork in Word format,
thus 99% rather than 100%).

The bulk of my email and newsgroup work is also done on this machine as
there's nothing on the Win PC side that has the ease of use that's
associated with Pluto, Hermes and Newshound.

NetSurf is used for trivial RO browsing.

A copy of the above SARPC exists in VRPC form on a PC and is backed to it
once a week, so if the old machine dies, the business office etc carries 
on.

Any serious browsing (Firefox), online shopping (Firefox), graphics
manipulation (PaintShop Pro), video editing (Movie Plus X5), etc, has to
be done on a Win PC. (I forgot, Audacity for sound work).
