Dear Friends:
A long time ago..I had a great amiga 4000 system.
030+16 mb ram+120 hd.but it was at the time it was a new system...so it was wonderful for me.I got it to learn animation...and got aladdin 4d with it.It was great. Then I saved enough money to buy lightwave...and I talked to lightwave people online...and they all adviced me to sell my amiga and get lightwave/pc with a new pc system. i was lucky and saved enough to buy a new pentium system+lightwave 3d (v 5.0).The pentium was super and lightwave fast/good.I sold my amiga 4000 for cheap ( us$ 350)to get rid and give to someone who wanted it.Is been many years now...and I have the latest pc plus the latest version of lightwave. But now I miss my amiga 4000. True, the lightwave is better for 3d animation...but now I realize that the amiga was much more than just a 3d graphics machine.The amiga was a great system and capable of doing so many amazing things. I wish I had kept my amiga 4000, and especially I did not need to sell it...I could have kept it along while I used lightwave.The worst thing was for me to sell it...I am so sad now.
I was lucky though...I also had a brand new amiga 1200...and this one I kept with me..and use it a lot even today. I am so happy...to have this shiny a1200 working fine. I upgraded it to 030/50mhz + 18mb ram + 2 giga hd.
The amiga 1200 amazing...I can still use aladdin 4d, amos pro, CanDO, Octamed and many other things.I will forever keep my a1200.I can not afford now to get an amiga 4000...but maybe in the future I will. I really wish I had kept it...then I could just get a cyberstorm and upgrade the a4000.Well..if I save again I can prob get an amiga 4000, but it will be a long time before I can afford it.
BTW I am not rich...I just saved lots of money over time to buy my amigas and the new pc/lightwave. I was a college student when I bought my first amiga.
This is my story...cheers!!!
