New Amiga Owner Wants Opinions

[carls]

Personally, I wouldn't mind using it but I'd take good care of it. Dust it of once a week, keep it out of the sun etc.

But like someone said, if you want to get the Amiga Experience (tm), I would recommend an A1200 with a hard drive. Better OS, better graphics, and it can still run a lot of the old A500 games.

If you only want to play non-system-friendly disk based games, watch the odd oldschool demo and dabble with DPaint I see no reason why you would need an A2000HD.

Spending money on scandoublers and VGA monitors is useless when you just want to play games. Hooking up your miggy to the TV will work just fine.

You seem totally obsessed with calling the smaller Amigas "toys". I can agree to a certain point, but that's not always a bad thing. Why fork out huge amounts of cash on big-box Amigas when you won't use all their potential?

I wouldn't trade my A1200s for any A2000HD in the world. OCS graphics and a 7MHz 68000 - how unprofessional :^P
