I'm considering shopping for one of those "COOL" Amiga computers.  I have been
so impressed with the eloquence of some of these posts  :-))  that I am asking
someone to explain what the different Amigas are called, how their performances
compare, and approximate prices.  What's the diff between an Amiga 500, 1000,
and 3000?  Is there a 5000?  The graphics are cool, but will the Amiga run
flight simulators as smoothly as a PC-AT (whose flight sim performance is fair 
compared to a 386 I'm sure)?  Will the Amiga accept a joy stick which has
variable resistors instead of the silly click-switches that the C-64 is limited
to?  Thanks, *experts* !
