Hi. I just sold my 3yr old ST system and purchased the Amiga 500. But  I
need some info to help start me off.

 1. What are the differences between the 500 and the 2000.

 2. What is the best (give me facts please, not opinions) C compiler for
    the Amiga.

 3. Can I hook virtually any hard drive to the A-500 without the need of
    a special interface? (I'm talking about IBM compatible drives)

 4. I  need  to have a MIDI and Video workstation,  so what software and
    hardware would you reccommend?  I've seen D-Paint  II  and  am  very
    impressed by it. But what about video work and MIDI software?

 5. What books can you reccommend to  get me best started with the Amiga
    operating system.

 6. I also need numbers for good Amiga BBS's, especially in the NY State
    area.

							Thanx!
