I'm seriously considering buying an Amiga, especially with the student discounts
that Commodore is offering. Before I lay down that large hunk of cash, and
trash my other computer system. I have a few questions that I hope some of you
will answer.
1) After reading through the info the dealer gave me. I still have questions
about the Amiga's graphics modes. Could someone please explain the diferent
resolutions and the number of colors each mode can have. Also I have heard
things about the HAM mode, how usefull is this mode? One guy was talking
about the improved graphics with the "enhanced" chips. Can you upgrade to
these "enhanced" chips?
2) What are the main differences between the Amiga systems? How much of an
improvement is the Amiga 3000 compaired to the 2000? How compatable are the
different Amiga systems? I've heard several titles wont run on the Amiga
3000. If you were to buy a new system what would you buy?
3) Finally, could someone recommend a C compiler, assembler, and some graphics
software.
Please respond by mail, from what I've seen this is a very busy newsgroup.
Forgive my ignorance, and thanks for your help.
