Message-ID: <1991May25.040529.1600@intacc.uucp> Date: 25 May 91 04:05:29 GMT Organization: Inter/Access Lines: 32 C I've been an Atari user since '85 (doing 95% music) so forgive me if my question is naive. I was at a friends house last week and was totally blown away by the animation software on an old 1000 model. Sounds corny, but I've seen my new calling in life and it is animation! Question: As a first time user would it be better for me to buy an Amiga 500 (I've seen complete used systems for $600 Canadian) or will I appreciate the enormous jump in power to an '030 at 25MHZ? The money isn't my biggest concern (well it's a big one alright) but I was thinking this: If I got an el-cheapo system now and then in a few months or a year I would really know what I want (peripherals etc). Then by that time something new would be out (amiga 4000?) that would be the obvious high end system to buy. I would still keep my ST for Notator, WP, DTP. ferenc email prefered but I'll try to remember to call up this nsgrp. hey 07, you out there? 32 B Summary: Expires: References: <377X24w162w@alchemy.tcnet.ithaca.ny.us> <1991May23.144823.16337@casbah.acns.nwu.edu> Sender: Followup-To: Distribution: Organization: Inter/Access Artists' Centre Toronto Keywords:
