now has a new owner,
Gateway 2000 and they are now on sale again, so it's now time for
me to put my salesman's cap on, and try to sell you one.
The picture here is of my Workbench. You can see, amongst other things,
Multiview showing a Jpeg image and IBrowse viewing my home page.
To get the computer to do this is so simple! Who needs to mess around
with tons of config files? PC owners thats who!
Notice how sharp the quality of the display is, esp. when compared
to PC. (Bear in mind the image is a compressed Jpeg. On a real Amiga screen,
the display is even sharper!)
| User Level | Example Set Up | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner (Games) | A1200, 68020 CPU, 2MB Ram, 80MB HD | £270 |
| Beginner (Applications) | A1200, 68020 CPU, 6MB Ram, 170MB HD | £340 |
| Intermediate | A1200, 68020 CPU, 6MB Ram, 340MB HD, 2X CD-Rom | £480 |
| Semi-Pro | A1200, 68030 CPU, 10Mb Ram, 720MB HD, 4X CD-Rom | £640 |
| Professional | A1200T, 68040 CPU, 18MB Ram, 1GB HD, 8X CD-Rom | £780 |
| Top Of The Range :-) | A4000T, 68060 CPU, 34MB Ram, 3.2GB HD, 16X Cd-Rom, Modem, GFX Card, Sound Card | £2000 |
So as you can see, there is an Amiga to fit your needs (and pocket). My Amiga is of similar spec to the semi pro set up, above, and is a worthwhile competitor to any £1500 PC!
Advantages over PC/MAC
So where can I buy one?
Note - Weird Science come recommended for their prompt service, and good after sales support.
Well I hope I've given you an insight into the Amiga. I may update this page as and when I see fit.
