New user in Illinois
« on: May 09, 2006, 04:42:54 PM »
Hey everybody. I have been interested in Amiga's for a while now, and I just picked up my first one; an old A1000 from a garage sale for free. Unfortunately, no kickstart or OS disks. Is there anyone out there that can help me out? Anyone near UIUC? I know I can't do much with the 1000, but it would be fun to tinker aroundwith it. Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome! I may decide to pick up a more modern (for lack of a better word) Amiga one of these days, but seeing the prices of the A1200's and A4000's, I'm still on the fence. I am just not sure yet how much practical modern computing I can do with the old technology.

Yeah, from the looks of it the A1000 is more of a curiosity than a practical machine. I think I will try to search for a more modern machine and in the mean time, see what I can scrounge up for the old 1000. Thanks for all of your input and wisdom. I'm glad I'm not the only one with those concerns.
