Hi, I'm Vince, and I don't really know much about Amiga. I searched around after hearing some cool extended modules, and found some programs for module tracking but they were for Amiga systems, so I am now looking into buying an Amiga!
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking to buy, and how much I should be spending? Also, I am a Windows, and Linux user, how easy would it be for me to figure out how to use AmigaOS?
Thank you for your time,

Vince,
Welcome to the world of AMIGA! I think you will find it is an easy world to navigate in. :-D
If mods (modules) are what you are into, just about any AMIGA model will be acceptable although I would suggest that you only look at the A3000, A4000 or A1200 series as they were the last versions and the most versatile. Costs vary for these (used) computers from $100 up. Be sure you have plenty of RAM (at least 8MB) a minimum of an 030 processor (obviously faster is better if you can find / afford) and a nice large HD.
Since you are a Linux user, navigating the AMIGA CLI (Command Line Interface) will seem familiar to you although some of the commands are different. For the AMIGA OS and GUI, think of it as a cross between MAC OS and later versions of Unix X11 GUI.
Any other questions?
