Advice for a newbie?

Hi Sammy, I'm clearing out my computer room at home and have a spare A1200 I'd be willing to sell you.  It's a largely stock system with a 500 meg HD and 3.1 ROMs.  I think the floppy drive is dead, but I probably have a spare.  If not, consider it "Gotek ready"

I'm in Winnipeg, PM me if you're interested.

He'll even send pictures once he's done cleaning it

Full disclosure, though: the A1200 I'm offering has not been recapped.  While the system runs like a top and looks pristine on the inside, it's also over 20 years old and it's only a matter of time until the capacitors go.

I haven't used his services (yet), but I hear Acill does great work in this area.  You may want to take that into consideration.
