I have the original Amiga,I believe it's called the 1000 model.
  I haven't used it in years. I thought that even though the
new models use much more memory and this first model is largely
outmoded there still ought to be some usefulness left in it.
  I went to my local AMIGA store and asked them what I would need to
do in order to use the computer to communicate with online services
and so forth. They told me that there is so little memory on this model
that it's useless. They suggested I dump it since it would cost way
too much to try and upgrade it.
   Are they accurate? What would I neeed to do to be able to use it
to get services such as Compuserve and various BBS.
   Thanks....
