Hi there!

Oops forgot the .sig

I have not been following the discussions in this group so excuse me
if what I want has appeared many times before.  

Because our site does not store old News and further,
nobody I know uses an amiga other than as a mini-video arcade
I hope the knowledgable net-landers of UofT will come to my aid.

What I need is some advice on the various Amiga packages available.   
In general I need to know the spec's, ie. speeds, chips, ram etc.
of the amigas and peoples' experiences with their systems.   A few
days of reading this group's postings makes one suspicious about
hard disks.  Is this warranted?  Where are the best deals in town?

Specifically, I also need to know the availibility and capabilities of
various ``scientific'' compilers such fortran, c etc.  Information
with regards to modems and communication packages would also be
appreciated.   

What is all this about the Euro-virus?  Info about the Amiga 3000
would be appreciated too.  Is there any literature worth reading?
Any and all info appreciated.  Please send directly to me.

Many Thanks,

Jim
