I got mine.


And may I make a suggestion for other prospective purchasers of this machine
in the New York City area- Olden at 34th St and Broadway, a block uptown
from the 33rd St PATH station.

	1) It is $1695, not $1895, for 256K system unit w/1080 monitor.
	2) If you live outside of New York, so sales tax, but a $40
		shipping charge. My Amiga came A DAY EARLIER than they
		said it would arrive. Usually when I order equipment,
		it's a month late.
	3) The salespeople don't know a whole lot about the machine,
		but are otherwise helpful.


And now, some questions...

Where can I get a(n) { AmigaDOS Manual, Hardware Manual, and other Technical
Manual } ?

I copied AmigaBASIC (MS species) to the Workbench disk. I turned on the CLI
option in Preferences. Now, whenever I open my Workbench icon, all the
other icons (AmigaBASIC, CLI, Trash, etc.) are all piled on top of each
other, and the drawers are halfway out the window. I rearrange them, save
the INFO option on the disk icon, EVERYTHING- and it still makes a mess.
What goes? And how do .info files work anyway? Are they just copies of the
icon?

Where can I get a font editor?

Why is the AmigaBASIC manual (among others) such a mess?

Thanks in advance,
