	I just scanned throuh 300+mesg on the Amiga I am (horrors) a IBM
PC person.  A friend of mine wanted a PC for general use, (a few years
ago) so I pointed him to an IBM clone (lots of software etc).  He ended
up buying/using only games.  (M1 tank, Red baron, pirates etc.)
	He is now ready to spend around $1500 on a new system which
could get him a 386sx 40 MB hd VGA system.  But I was thinking about
pointing towards AMIGA.
	What would be a good system (how much disk how much RAM) to get
for a good game machine?  How much would it cost?  How many games
available relative to IBM.  
	Wheres the best place to buy one (there is one small dealer
outside of Pittsburgh), or should he go mail order?
	Any help making a descision would be greatly appreciated.
	I will be reading this group for responses or just Email me
and I will summarize if any interest.
	Any must haves?  (sounds options, joystick options etc)
	If theres a better group for this let me know.  I am not trying
to start a flame war.
	If any pittsbugh local people want to show off an AMIGA let me
know.  Thanks all.
