Hello All;
I have been offered an Amiga 1000 with about 1.5 Meg of memory, 
1 composite, and 1 RGB monitor, and I think only a disk (No Hard
Disk). 

I know nothing about the Amiga systems so I thought I'd ask the 
net for assistance in determining if this is a good deal !!! 

I plan to use the A1000 almost exclusively for Video Titling but 
if I get it, I may find it is so interesting that I may use it 
for other things as well. I have heard that the A1000 is no 
longer sold but I am curious about what the approximate retail 
price of it was when it was being sold. Also I'd like to know 
if today's Amiga software (Ie. that designed for the A500, and 
A3000) will run on the A1000 ??? I'd also like to know of add-on 
boards and accessories can still be purchased for it ??? 

By the way ... I almost forgot ... the price of this A1000 which  
has been offered to me is ... $300 !!! 

Thank you very much for your assistance ...

Tim
