Hi, Everyone! I'm not yet a new Amiga user, but I'm seriously thinking about taking the plunge and buying an Amiga. I have a few questions & concerns, and I hope some of you here on the Forum can help me out. 1. I currently have a Sony KV-1311CR Analog or Digital RGB monitor. Is it compatible with the Amiga? Do I need a special cable? The monitor is NOT multisync. Will that be a serious problem, especially with interlace flicker? (This is a major concern with my friend, who also has the same monitor, and is thinking about using an Amiga for CAD applications). 2. Does Workbench 2.0 now come with all Amigas, or only the A3000? If I am planning on an Amiga system with a hard drive and 2 floppy drives, would it be worth the extra expense to buy an A3000 vs an A2000? 3. Can you run CAD programs (like X-Cad Professional) on the A500? 4. Is the ECS now standard on all Amigas? Thanks for your help … I'm sure I'll have more questions later! —-Dave
