I've tried to send mail to systems that are propogating BBS traffic onto the network but none of them seem to answer. Could someone figure out why the wonder kid here is sending out duplicate copies of his hello message ? Unfortunately that leaves me resorting to a general posting.

This is my first post on the net, so bear with me...
I do not own a Amiga yet, but I'm looking into purchasing an Amiga
500. I'd like to know what a good setup to begin with is. I don't have a
whole lot of money to spend, but I would like to know what is a good setup for
someone just getting into Amiga computing. Thanx in advance...

For $800 you will get a 1 MEG A500 with a second Disk Drive plus Monitor. That is the best basic system you can get for the A500. IF you have between $520 and $800 in addition I would suggest adding the A590 Harddrive. This will give you 20 Megs of storage and a place to put 2 additional Megs of memory in the future. Good luck with your system Marc Siskin Msiskin@shogun.us.cc.umich.edu

Thanx in advance... It depends somewhat on what you want to do with the machine, but in general I would get a second disk drive as soon as possibe. The machine will drive you crazy with out it. After that I would go with extra memory. I think the 500 comes with a meg now, although I'm not sure about that. A meg is about the minimum you want to go with to be productive. If you can afford an extra 2 meg, you will be in good shape to get alot out of your machine. After that a hard drive is real nice to have. Mike, P.S. In another direction - find access to the fish library of Public Domain software and start playing with whatever looks interesting on them. There is about 340 disks out there now - no shortage of PD. -- "Could we be the bellwether | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD of major societal shifts?" | DLA Systems Automation Center - Columbus,Oh mfigg@dsacg2.dsac.dla.mil CIS: 73777,360
