hi helen good one you for getting a amiga 1200
well l remember getting my 1200 way back.
add fast memory either the best way with a 030 card.
or even with a ram card be best to get a card with faster cpu though.
if you want to get onto the internet a pcmcia network card a good option (u can get pc one just check with docs in cnet.device to ones that work okay.
id recomend upgrading to os 3.9 also
also email amikit and ask what they suggest for your buget be best way to go.
good luck and happy computing
