A1200 good for re-entry?

Don't bother with the new 'Commodore' crap,

Agreed...

and don't bother with the X1000, because it's not an Amiga at all and costs more than 1000 dollars (no, really).
...

Hmmm - here I cannot agree (supposing that you are referring to the AmigaOne X1000 with "X1000").

If there is something interesting about a piece of hardware then there is something interesting about it - no matter if it is a Commodore Amiga, CUSA Amiga, AT Amiga, Eyetech Amiga, ACube Amiga, A-Eon Amiga, Pegasos, Playstation or what do I know.

In case of CUSA products I have to agree, as I cannot see anything interesting there - others might see this different.

But in case of the A1 X1k I can see a lot of things that I'm interested in. Be it the dual cores, the 64 bit architecture or exploring the possibilities of XENA / XORRO...

Anyhow - I have registered my interest in an AmigaOne X1000 at x1000@leamancomputing.com ...

Hi, i used to be an Amiga fanatic, but sold my Amiga stuff way back in 95. Now i am at the point, maybe its nostalgia (it mostly is), i want to buy my again an Amiga and do two things. Play games and run a private bbs system on it.
Used to run actually Cnet and AmiX. Well also way back.

Welcome back!
I think for the things you listed an A 1200 - preferably with a 68030 accelerator card - is enough.

B.T.W. - with "AmiX" you mean the Amiga Unix - a full port of AT&T Unix System V Release 4 for the Amiga computer family?
Isn't an Amiga 3000 UX required for that?
