[comp.sys.amiga] New Amigan with many questions...

jet@karazm.math.uh.edu (j. eric townsend) (03/25/90)

Just got my new (to me :-) A2000.  Yea!

Here're some not so frequently asked questions:

1.  What's the best mail-order house for hardware?  (Houstonites
    should suggest good local stores, the only one I knew about
    closed. :-)

2.  SLIP for the Amiga?

3.  GNU for the Amiga?  I can help on this one, I believe.
    I'm most interested in bison/gcc/g++, but other goodies would
    be nice as well.

4.  A good tutorial for video/graphics?


Now, the really tough ones.  Opinion time.

I want to be able to digitize from video and genlock out.  I don't
need network-quality, but I'd like to have graduate-art-student
quality.  I'd like (20+ bits | framestep out) depending on the cost.
Any suggestions?  I'd like to spend $500-$1000, and am overwhelmed
by the amount of products already out there.

I'd forgotten how much fun a computer could be... :-)
