Terry, I just got your message. Thanks for suggesting C Primer Plus. Harry
BBS's 4 YellowSprings,OH
Message #15481
My son is looking for Amiga related BBS numbers (or any BBS if there are no Amiga ones in the vicinity of Yellow Springs, Ohio, area code 513. I saw the TFL689.ZOO file in DL 5 but (a) I don't have an Amiga – and cant do anything with ZOO…
Matt, Next – I hope you don't mean NeXt? Up a little late were you? Lots of decisions today. Harry
#Mac vs Amiga ?
Message #10245
Ethan, Here is the second part of the message about Amiga video/animation etc. On the Mac, when you're ready to move to 24-bit, all the pieces are in place, not yet the case on the Amiga. And frame-grabbing equipment is not much pricier on the Mac than it is on…
Ethan, How significant is the problem described below: I had stated that, based on the messages I got in this forum I inferred that the Amiga was a "better machine for any thing that smacks of color animation, video frame grabbing and output etc." I recieved this reply: Frame grabbing…
David, Thanks for the help with this difficult decision. I am torn between my professional/personal committment to Mac's, my desire to have my son work with a machine that he is most likely to be deeply involved with, and my desire to be able to work with him on projects…
Hey Matt, Be sure to read message #9978. I think you are lobbying to have these guys lobby me into getting you a Cray that emulates an Amiga and has Amiga slots. Good luck. What's the matter? Didn't you like the Vic 20? Harry (aka Dad)
Mike, Thanks for the comments. VPI's move is very interesting. I have a friend on the faculty there and will ask him what he knows about it. Harry
Betty, Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I infer that the A3000UX will be have some unique hardware features and that the A3000 will not run the full Unix implementation as well as the 3000UX. I have not had the best of experiences being on the cutting edge of Micro-technology.…
#Mac vs Amiga ?
Message #9960
My son has an Amiga 1000 which is a bit the worse for wear (hard disk broken for third time, missing a key, etc. ). He has a year and a half of college to go and is getting a degree in Computer Science. He will be taking "C" next…
Jeff, Thanks for the information. Another one said that street prices for a full set up would cost between $3000 and $5000. Wow! I thought Amiga's main edge on the Mac was price – and I can't see a difference now. Harry
Don, Thanks for the information. I know this is a touchy area, but at those prices it seems to me that the Amiga is running headlong into the MACs – IICX, ICI etc. at street prices, with color monitor and HD – would be around $5,000. The new Mac's coming…
#A3000, Cost? Advice?
Message #2460
My son's Amiga 1000 is sitting on a table behind me. He has been working on an Island, out of touch, sinc May. He has asked me to look into the possibility of buying an Amiga 3000. Can anyone give me an idea of the street price of a 3000…
Amigs BBS's in BOSTON??
Message #80785
My son is moving to Boston, with his Amiga & Modem, and has asked me to inquire here for recommendations on local BBS's that would be attractive to an Amiga owner. We can get a list of 617 BBS's, but would like a few personal recommendations instead. Harry

Need Mouse 4 AMIGA 1000!
Message #77017
Brian, thanks for the confirmation. My own path started with an Apple ///, moved to an IBM PC and is now mired on a Mac. My son started with a Vic-20, then an Adam and the Amiga 1000 for the last three years. I am a strong advocate of hard…
