Thanks a lot for the monitor tip. I'll be sure and study this one as I prepare to buy.
Which A3000 Monitor?
Message #52361
I'm continuing to prepare for an Amiga 3000 purchase. What I'm hearing lately is that the 1950 monitor isn't very good. I would be using my machine for professional page desktop publishing, general all-around light productivity, and eventually, I'd like to do some very light tinkering in video, mainly dressing…
I'm shopping for a postscript printer. Should ANY printer with HP emulation work with my Amiga 500? By the way, I'm moving up to the Amiga 3000 for Christmas and at that time I'll marry the postscript to the more powerful machine. I'm thinking of buying the Texas Instruments PS17…
The Amiga flight sim market is picking up in a big way, mainly because the IBM ports are getting to be much, much better. F-15 STrike Eagle II looks to be much better than on the IBM. Red Baron is shipping for the Amiga this fall on 10 disks. I've…
Al, thanks. I'll be WHAPping soon!
Mike, thanks for the reply regarding postscript printers. It was all very helpful.
Mike, tell me more. Why is a postscript laser printer better than the Deskjet 500 for DTP? I've just started working with professional page and so far I've delighted with the newsletters I'm starting to create with the Deskjet Plus. Would I be even more delighted with the postscript laser?…
Thanks for the reply on the 040 card. Should be a great advancement.
I hadn't heard about the Power Up deal being extended. What 's's thedeal?
040 Accelerator
Message #26833
Just curious: How much will the Amiga 3000 be enhanced by the arrival of the 040 accelerator card? Anybody know what clock speed the card will run at? Any estimates on when the card will be available? Price? Thanks. Barry.

Thanks, Bill. I've slowly been making the change from IBM to Amiga for allall my productivity work, and the last step will be to buy a modem and communications software. I've been using the Amiga for about 18 months for games and creativity work, but now I'm ah shuttin' down…
Yeah, I intended for it to be a loop. I was fairly close to the ground, tried to go vertical, and then realized I would never be able to pull it off. Pushed backback on the stick to try and level off and somehow just slammed the sucker into the…
I have to admit I reset the Amiga last night rather than accept a fatal Wings kill — my own. I did what fighter jocks call "get stupid." I tried to do a 180-degree loop without enough clearance. A few seconds into the manuver, I could almost hear Farrah speaking…
Thanks, Tom, for Looms info. I'm going to add this one to our father-son Christmas list.
Thanks for tips on Looms, guys. Seems like the perfect father-son game to me. Right now we're wading through Conquests of Camelot, one of the Sierra title. It is great stuff, with outstanding graphics, a nice soundtrack and many fantasy-filled, humorous moments. It comes highly reccomended, at least, we like…
How much text input is there in Loom? Could a seven-year-old play by himself? How "intuitive" is the game for kids? Thanks. Barry C.
Cinemaware, the same company that brought us Wings and TV Sports Football/Basketball, canceled the TV Sports Baseball project after becoming embroiled in a legal dispute with the small development company it had commissioned to design the game. Last I heard they have filed lawsuits against one another. It is unlikely…
Thanks for the Wings tip. I'm up to about 20 kills now, and I have become so brazen that sometimes I jus tt wade right in for head-on kills. Sometimes I sustain some damage, but hey, that's war. Thanks again. — Barry C.
Thanks for the tip about how to survive in Wings. I continue to get better and better.
Paul: thanks for the tips on how to survive the early going in Wings. I seem to be getting much better. — Barry C.
Any tips on how you guys are racking up so many kills? I'm not having much luck. Usually my pilots only rack up two or three kills before they deep six. Any tips would be appreciated.
