I would go the Amikit route unless you want to but heads with stubborn germans at Vesalia.  lol

lol! i agree with you, i had a similar conflict recently with them:) i order about 500 euro of stuff for both my amigas last night from amigakit  :-)

@drewz21: welcome home pal and welcome to amiga.org too:)
most of your softwear will work ok in one way or another in all of the amigas except those that need special hardwear that you will not have. as for the amiga it's as in pc world. the best and the faster. both 1200 in tower with pci/zorro slots or 4000 it's quite the same i think and the best choise. phase5 accelarators blizzard/cyberstorm is the best at my opinion if you can find any. from the other hand, i bought a second hand 3000 recently and love her too and i spend money to upgrate her. all this situation is a matter of luck, personal choise and budgged of course. good luck  :-)

Unfortunately, AmigaOnes are not yet avaiable although
they soon shold be at a price within your budget. Check here:

  And take a look at OS4 here.

  Just my two cents worth!

in my country there is a saying: i was young and now i'm old...
all these years i've tired to wait all the promisses to become true, until now i didn't see quite anything, but i did not abandon the amiga and in every chance i upgrade fearther. if the os4-a1 come at full speed i'll bye one for sure but that's not stop me from use the amiga in the present situation/state

Can you recommend some good vendors to buy new/almost new from from personal experiences or just word-of-mouth comments?


give a try to :http://europe.amigakit.com/  they are ok for me


what makes the web-surfing experience so bad on an Amiga?  And is it just limited to the older machines?

have you ever try the amiga browsers?... for irc, ftp, e-mail i prefer amiga softwear, it's better :-)

i have amiga forever both versions 4 & 6 and recently installed the amikit with os3,9. both they are good but not good enough for me, i prefer the real amiga. if you buy an a1200 and amiga os3,9 you can use amikit (free) for pc emulation of amiga.

@amigakit: oh boy, if in the days of commodore the internet was spread as today, and they was acting in the needs of amiga users as fast as you do, pcs would be droped dead by now and amiga sould be the wintel of today... :crazy:
