and of course i want it on the net. do they make ethernet for amiga, and can amiga network with windows based machines?

Yep, notice the little slot the on left side of the machine? That's an ancient 16 bit PCMCIA slot which can take (amongst other things, including the above mentioned SCSI interface) ethernet cards. However you should pay notice that PCMCIA network cards you might find actually have drivers for it. There's a package on Aminet (that being a very large collection of Amiga freeware and shareware (www.aminet.net)) called something like cnet.device which is a generic driver for a lot of PCMCIA network cards.

You would need a TCP/IP stack as this is not included with OS3.0 (in fact only with 3.9 did AmigaOS get a proper stack included). There's a demo of a stack called Miami on Aminet, fully functional only limited to 30 mins of usage. The prog can't be registered anymore though :-(.
