	Howdy All,

	I'm currently thinking of buying an Amiga 500.  I am
a college student, so money is a problem.  Before I jump into
buying one, I would like some information...

	1st...I've heard a lot about "flicker-free" video, and 
interlaced graphics...I presumably will not be able to get 
flicker-free on an Amiga 500.  How will this affect the graphical
quality of the system.

	2nd...I will primarily be playing games, word processing
and telecommunicating with this system.  Will an Amiga 500 with
hard drive be sufficient for this, or should I also include
extra ram, and an accelerator.  

	3rd...Exactly how expandable is it...I've read numerous
articles and adds about all this nifty gadgets, but I haven't
heard if they really work or not...

	Thanks in advance, and remember, before anyone rags on me,
you may be talking to a future Amiga owner...
