Amiga browsing experience would be comparable to using Netscape Navigator or IE v2.0 today on your PC. :-)

The later versions of aweb seemed more stable than netscape 4.x "whatever is the latest version for 68k mac" under macos8 for me. Netscape seemed to crash completly on like 50% of the sites while taking the OS with it in many cases.

Do you think this person's Amiga items would be a good start for me?  He posted this in the Selling Forum.

"I am selling off ALL my Amiga stuff (not on eBay yet), and thought I would mention it on here before I do in case someone is interested. I can't remember everything off the top of my head, but will add to this when I get home.

1 x Amiga 1200 (NOS) - Perfect Condition
Accelerator Board w/ 8MB Ram
Mouse
Joystick
Power Pack
Disks with OS
OS installed on HDD

1 x Amiga 1200 - Good Condition
Mouse
Joystick
Power Pack
Disks with OS
OS installed on HDD

1 x Amiga 500 - Good Condition
Mouse
Extra external FDD
CD-Rom Unit
External Accelerator
Disks with OS

1 x 1084S Monitor - Good Condition
5 x boxes of software - literally 1,0000 Disks!"

I've chatted with him some via e-mail.  Just looking for feedback from the community.  Also what do you think would be a good deal for all of this?

Thanks again.

Too bad it does not specify which accelrator is included with the a1200.
If you want to easiest amiga to expand, then i would go with a a4000 of some kind. A1200 is ok as well, as long as it is towerized, as only a few 68k accelrators will fit in the standard casing.

Honestly, spend the money on a PC, use winuae for your amiga crap. Ive got an a3000, and i would like to drive this lcd at it's native rez, but i cant. I wanted to get a picasso IV but you cant get one for less than $300 and i'll be damned if i spend that kind of money on one board for my crappy slow 25MHz amiga.

Why exactly do you waste your time on a Amiga forum, when you believe the computer is so crappy and useless? I really think you should start hanging in a pc forum instead.
