[souledout]

Ive got got my hands on a spanking new(ish.. :-D )
a1200...and im completely new to the whole modern amiga scene..its completely bare bones and i was wondering if anyone had any advise on how i should tweak this little baby..??
Plus any advice on how to get online(in the UK) would be lots of help too..!!

[souledout]

ive got a budget of about 300£ at the moment, but Im getting pretty nostalgic about the whole project..so who knows where its going to go..!
I didnt know you could use laptops drives though..!!

what sort of HDD sizes will the a1200 support..??

[souledout]

Ok great, how easy is it to install the drive once i get one......can anyone reccomend a good beginers guide to this sort of thing, so i dont have to bug youa ll with all these anoying questions.. :-D

[souledout]

This is all great stuff...!!! Thanks for your help,
i never realised the amiga had no only survived..but infact thrived
Ill go on the lookout for a HDD asap.....ive been offered an 80meg one for 10£ but im guessing that would be a bit of  waste of time
Ill try and get my hands on a modem asap, as i can see this is going to be the EASIEST way to get my hands on the software im going to need,also it seems slot of the stuff is pretty easy to get going..!

Ok...getting a cd-rom might be the answer ! Ive seen some advertised on the site that was recommeded, Im really looking forward to getting my hands on some of the old calssics i used to play when i was a kid
Im also looking forwrd to seeing how it performs compared to my PC, i know amigas were always better at multitasking and now with all the exapnsion available it should be eve more interesting..!!

[souledout]

Thats right...the CLASSICS.. :-D

ive been drooling over these actaully..!!
