Message-ID: <243@esosun.UUCP> Date: 29 Jul 88 13:46:10 GMT Reply-To: smithey@esosun.UUCP (Brian Smithey) Organization: Science Applications Internations Corp, San Diego Lines: 22 I'm considering the purchase of a home computer, possibly an Amiga. Since my wife is a teacher, I'm particularly interested in the A500 Educator Package mentioned recently in this newsgroup. What I would like to know is what are the differences between the Amiga 500 and 2000 systems? I don't want to buy the 500 just because it's less expensive and then wish I had bought the 2000. I would appreciate any info from Amiga owners, especially those familiar with the differences between the two systems. I would guess that most people reading this already own Amigas and aren't interested in reading a bunch of follow-ups, so please send e-mail. If anyone else is interested in this info I'll be glad to forward it; if I get a lot of requests I'll summarize to the net. Thanks, Brian -- Brian Smithey | Geophysics Division | {ucbvax!ucsd,uunet!seismo}!esosun!smithey Science Applications Int'l Corp. | esosun!smithey@seismo.css.gov San Diego, CA |
