Although the 3000T is the best Amiga IMHO, an A3000 is not half bad. After the 3.1 rom/OS3.9the best combo to get would be a Cyberstorm PPC/Cybervision combination which will give you a reasonably kickass system for OS 4.0 which is right around the corner (real soon now :-D ) It has a provision for an Ultra-wide SCSI drive and would give you excelent graphics as well. The best place to find one of these used at a decent price is ebay.de, use altavista babelfish for German to English translations. I bought the Cs PPC from one guy in Germany and the C-vision from another guy there. The translations I used in emails probably made me soun kind of retarded to them, but at least the point got across. I actually found the easiest way to pay for them was to go to Thomas Cook and get actual Euro currency and mail it well wrapped in opaque paper as World banking arrangements suck. Either I would have to pay big bucks for wiring the money to their accounts or they would have to pay big bucks to deposit bank drafts, even if they were in Euro??!! No problems in the transactions occurred and they came well wrapped via normal post.
