Can anyone tell me, a novice, whether or not I can expect to get any graphics with my amiga 1000 (no hardrive and 4mgs)? I have figured out downloading and decompressing files on Compuserve and am ready to tackle this next mystery. If so, can you give me some hints of how to get started? Any special software or utilities required?? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can! If you have 4 Megs you should be able to display the files in one of several graphics modes, but almost all the files in CompuServe are in either GIF or JPEG and you need a utility that can display such files. Comercially you can get Black Belt's Image Master, ASDG Art Department Porfessional, Nova/GVP Image F/X among many others. Plus fir just showing the images there are several programs that you can download from the Amiga Arts Forum under Graphics. I hope this helps. Eduard

Thanks for your help! I'll start in the Amiga Arts forum and go from there. Hope I can figure this out. Thank you for your response Edward. (My oldest son is Edward…great name!) I'll see what I can figure out and I'll start in the forum.
