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. h) the amiga is a wonderful, forgiving, flexible computer
