n00b (well at least to Amiga)

[mrfresh]

I am an avid computer collector.  I primarily use OSX on the Mac Platform.  I build and repair PCs (Windows and some Linux) and have had an interest in Amiga since I was a kid.
I could never get my hands on one until today!

Happy to be here and hope these forums rock!  \m/

Amiga 2000 HD with a Commodore 1084S monitor

I didn't even notice where to plug things in.  I just started plugging away and found that the keyboard and mouse go in the front of the computer rather than the back.

I have gotten on the workbench

kickstart version 40.63
workbench version 40.42

assuming I have 100 MB storage (70M free and 30M in use)?

It has some old kiosk software from my church, and looks as though it was hooked up to a laserdisc.  Anyhow I can't find any other software (text edit or otherwise) besides utility stuff.  :-?

really?  Is 3.1 any good? The interface looks ancient ...
From what I read everyone else is on AmigaDOS 4?
I just wonder what I can do with this machine.  The guy who gave it to me was  raving about the capabilities of it.  I remembered them being powerful, but this thing is OLD!

The monitor is awesome, I have always liked the commodore monitors.  The ones I used in the past all had composite video, so I can connect other things to it as well... kinda nice...

how can I know what is the latest OS I can run on this machine?
