Keep a couple of thoughts in mind while considering your first Amiga
a) flicker occurs only in the interlace video mode
b) the amiga is a wonderful, forgiving, flexible computer
c) look into purchasing a 'previously owned' 2000 with a Hard drive
this could save you some serious $$… see the classifieds
in this section
d) the amiga is a wonderful, forgiving, flexible computer
e) with an Amiga 500, 2000 or 2500, you need additioanl hardware
and a multisync monitor to eliminate flicker in the interlace
mode… the 3000 requires only a multisync monitor and even
has a non-flicker 'productivity' mode.
f) the amiga is a wonderful, forgiving, flexible computer
g) if you are going to be doing a lot of CAD or DTP stuff…
in fact, if you're going to be doing alot of ANYthing, keep
in mind that the 500 and 2000 come with a stock 68000 cpu
operating at a sleepy 7.14 Mhz… look into a 68020 2500
or at least some sort of accelerator product.
