Advice Needed: Should a buy a vanilla A1200 @ 50 Euro?

[mikeymike]

I think most people who have an A2k, A3k or A4k would only part with it when you pried it from their cold, dead hands.

I got my A1200 second-hand off a friend for quite cheap.  Considering the expandability potential of an A1200, compared to most Amigas, they're worth it.

50 euros is a good price for a stock A1200 IMO.

I'd like to know why DoomMaster thinks an A1200 is a toy, and what makes an A2/3/4k so different... I'm fairly sure the upgrade costs are about the same, and you can make a fully expanded A1200 just as good a performer as a [fully expanded] A4000...

@ DoomMaster

I have been working with computers since the first personal computer was released back in 1977

Ego... at... critical mass... cannot... hold it... much... longer!

So, if you don't need to "prove yourself", how come you've mentioned this 1977 business twice in such a short period of time?  Surely your comments and advice should speak volumes of your experience...

But you have to tell people about your experience with micro computers from the 70's, people just arnt convinced these days by superior technical knowledge alone, you know.

Why not just say you've got an MCSE? :-D
