What you should immediately do is run out and buy/make a null modem cable, then start using AUX: or Dnet, or anything of this sort, to set up your own AmigaNet, Use your 1000 to sit and run non-speed dependent tasks, or if your 1000 is the accelerated machinem reverse that. If you have a Hdrive on your 1000, presto, your own Amiga server! Iteractive games, such as Falcon, Stunt Track Racer, FlightSim., FirePower, and Turbo to name a few will be great. My advice, If your are not a higher Ed. student/teacher, and you do not have a A1000, and were planning on buy a A2000 series machine, JUMP at one of these 1000 systems for sale, pay $500-$800 for a fully loaded system, trade-in the keyboard as a $400-$100 off coupon, and have a machine with 2 processors, 8 coprocessors, 8 floppies (max), 2buses, 2 monitors, ect.!!!!!!!!!! ($1000discount - $500investment = $500savings + 2 computers) If you think MultiTasking is neat, wait till you get a taste of networking with multitasking! David Watters
