#Mac vs Amiga ?
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 term an is very interested in
animation and interactive video.
He would like to upgrade to an Amiga 3000 (Student price $3100, 25Mhz, 50MB
drive, hi-res monitor) – or a slightly cheaper Amiga 2000. However, he is
willing to consider a Mac. The problem is he thinks the minimum machine
would be a Mac IIcx with an Apple color monitor. I am wondering if a used
SE-30 with a color card/monitor would do. I use a Mac at work and just
bought a IIci to use at home.. so I am prejudiced.
Would anyone care to comment? I brought this up once before – now I need
to go through it in the context of actually buying something.
I posted a similar message in the Macsys forum.
