>>I also subscribe to GEnie. Is there an Amiga RT there?<< Ah, well, ah, yes, but I'm sure not going to tell you about it. <g> Learning the basics of getting around the Amiga OS and using the shell will be pretty easy for you if you have any experience at all in working with command line interfaces, and the Amiga GUI (WORKBENCH) isn't called 'INTUITION' for nothing <g>. All in all, I think you will be amazed at how quickly you become productive with your new system. I would recommend that if you are planning on doing animation, 3D rendering or a great deal of image manipulation that you pick up some more memory for your new machine… 4 meg of fast ram gets eaten up pretty quickly when you're using heavy duty spohisticated application programs _and_ graphics. AmigaUser Forum is a terrific place to get help on the basics of working with your new computer and posting a question here will generally get you all the help you need. Stay in touch with the folks in AmigaArts as you start to use your software… we have MANY DTV amateurs and pro's that frequent the forum and are always willing to help out. We even have a DTV specialist available to field questions. Frank Vanella runs a commercial studio using Amiga's, PC's and MACs and has a ton of experience with traditional equipment and the TOASTER. Feel free to post any DTV specific questions to him in the AmigaArts Forum: Frank Vanella – 76527,723.
