Being a newbie to the AMiga world, I have stumbled my  way thru the paces of
getting acquainted with a new way of thinking(look Ma, I can do two things
at once).  Anyways, I have an older AMiga2000 that I bought used and
have come to the conclusion that I have a fat-AGnus chip.  I see the swirl
of messages about fatter-agnus and ECS and was wondering, what exactly
do these things do.  What is the big difference between fat and fatter Agnus
and ECS.  I would love to have the new workbench2.0 but right now I'll settle
for better graphics.  SO can some kind soul who has nothing better to do
explain to me the following points.

1) Why get a fatter agnus?

2) differences between ECS and fatter  agnus?

3) IS WB2.0 available to regular 1.2/1.3 people.

4) How can I generate NTSC signals to record on my vcr.

and anything else you'd like to mention, I'm a good listener..
