Dear Friend:
Just for your information, I want to share something.
I have had my amiga 1200 for many years. Is good and reliable. I bought it used from a friend, for us$ 800.
For a stock a1200 with 020/14mhz, with a printer and monitor. Very pricey, as you see, but to me it was worth every penny. I upgraded it to accel 030 with 50mhz/fpu/16 mb ram and 3gig hd. This system was good enough to get started into 3d animation...and then many years later when my cash flow was much better, I was able to buy a super pentium pc with lightwave. The amiga was good enough to learn the basics of 3d animation before I could get into lightwave. Because my amiga was so good, I was able to learn animation with limited cash, before I moved on.
Now that I can render nice gfx on my pc/lightwave, I still use my amiga and aladdin 4d to create new original animations. As you see, the amiga was well worth what I paid.
