I read the newuser article to this group, but I think it needs serious updating,
as I still have several BASIC questions I would like to have answered, JUST more
hardware/software reccomendations...

1) I have an A1000, and I am considering a 2000HD -- why is this system so less
   expensive than the 2500? I thought the only diff. was 2.0MB less mem. Also- 
   does any one accept 1000 trade-ins?

2) I want an AMAXX mac emulator (don't ask me why...), But I know absoultely
   NOTHING about it. (how and how well does it work?) 

3) I am considering low cost Genlock and Digitizer. They should be compatable
   with both the A1000 (for now) and B2000 (possibly for later). Any
   reccomendations here?

4) Finally, I will buy (in near future) a graphics/animation package. It should
   include: 3D rotation; cell, color animation; inclusion of IFF pics &
   digitized sound; and hopefully,ability to read more info from a DMA hard disk
   (if I get the 2000HD) DURING a sequence, thus allowing longer movies.
   I am not rich (especially if I but any of the other stuff I want), but I
   would like this to be a package I can 'grow in to' (READ: I'm not afraid of
   spending more $ for more features, but I don't want to overdo it.).

Reply Email or post on net (whatever you think is best), but regardless, I would
like to see the results in newuser. (I for one try to wait for origional topics
before posting, but I was left with little alternative.) Thanks for your time,
