I've just about decided, based on the wonderful help I recieved here, that a used Amiga 500 will best fit both my budget and my needs in a computer. What I want to know is if there is anything I should watch out for in the used Amiga 500 market. Are there "lemon" machines or monitors? Are there old version of the software or firmware to be avoided? Have there been any revisions to the motherboard that I want to avoid? Basically, what do I look for or _not_ look for in a used Amiga 500? -- "They Made a Thunderous Noise Like... Like 1,000 Airplanes On the Roof!" Mark E.
