American n00b...

Hello from the states. I've recently become really "into" the Amiga as an amazing 2D games machine (rather like a Sega Genesis with MUCH better sound) and as an art/creativity tool (it has creative tools which I find much better for "random doodling" than modern stuff like Photo$hop. I'm currently a UAE/Amiga Forever "lamer" but I also have an A500 (expanded only with 512K of slow RAM and an RTC) that I play Lemmings on... Someday I hope to get a real life 060+PowerPC monster though.

most of us dont consider uae/amiga forever lame anymore especially if you have a fast pc with a huge monitor and...etc,etc,etc
my pc can run practically all amiga software through emulation, ive found quite a few things my 3000 cant run

I have a P3/866 with 256 RAM. That gives me (according to SysInfo) the equivalent of a 109 MHz 68040. According to AIBB,  my graphics performance is only about that of an A1200 (unless I turn on RTG, in which case the full brunt of my GeForce 5500's 2D power comes into play)

ive had the opertunity to get 060 and ppc for my 3000 but didnt consider it woth it. a fast 030 or 040 are more compatible and supported. course if you want to drop a couple grand the skys the limit.

Compatability is one reason I want an "old-school" add-on board based system rather than a more modern "all-in-one" A1/EFIKA/Pegasos system...

what part of the americas are you from?
