First Amiga

[marcfrick2112]

Well, I am biased towards the 1200 as an intro Amiga... Granted, some expansions can be $$, but my tower is a sweet, very very stable machine...
Sure, I wish I had a processor about 5000x faster for Lightwave renders.. but, oh well....

ALso, if ya can find one for a decent price, A4000's are awesome too.. my late dad and I shared the A4000 w/WarpEngine in my sig. I think I paid $500 for it, some 4 years ago.... He mainly retouched photos, and the like, or made out labels, decals, whatnot on the Stylus Photo... but, also insisted I install Pinball Illusions, and SlamTilt on that machine!
:laughing:

Nice thing about Amiga's.. nowadays with WHDLoad.. you can do any 'serious' thing on most any 'semi-modern' miggy, and Still play games, and goof off...

Ya know, I had a nicely expanded A500 years ago.... I LOVED that machine... Sadly, the only downer for A500's is the price/scarcity of accelerators, and maybe Working HD interfaces....

My old, must missed A500.. no pics, but specs were: A500, rev. 6, 2MB chip, 34 MB fast. (2MB were via my SupraSCSI interface) WB 3.1, '030/'882 @ 50Mhz (ran hot enough to fry an egg! ) anything from a 640MB to a 1.2GB SCSI hard drive, a $5 CD-ROM drive (lol!) , 100MB Zip.

See, I really have to be able to run BOTH games and serious apps on my miggies... OK, like tonight... been playing a bunch of Amiga Shoot 'em ups, now I am compiling a Lightwave .ANIM. !
