There is the possibility that I may purchase an Amiga2000 very cheaply.
I am sitting on an ST that I have grown tired of.
WHat I am hoping is that a few people on this newsgroup can e-mail some
suggestions/advice/general information.

First off, I am low on funds and heavily into graphics, framegrabbing and
genlocking, as well as raytracing etc....

This Ami2000 has two floppies and that's it, just a standard 2000 out of the
box.  I may get the monitor, I may not. 

if you feel the energy please e-mail with info on the following areas
	-cheap color monitors
	-midi interface
	-accelerators
	-new chipset
	-Kickstart(what is it? why is it? who is it??)
	-hard drives, how/is there a scsi port?
	-framegrabber/genlock/digitiser
	-anything else that will persuade purchase the 2000.

Other things I am interested in are network cards? any?? appletalk or ethernet?
One thing I do not want is a computer that I have to turn on and wait
an eternity for it to wake up and reach userlevel OS.  I guess I am asking
if the OS is in ROM or disk form.
thanks to all
