If you want to expand your machine without paying the earth, I suggest you get the following programs. They enhance the Amiga in every way making it a friendlier machine to use. If Amiga International are reading, (and why wouldn't they be?) these should be included in the new version of AmigaOS for AGA systems. Incidentally, the next version of AmigaOS should be for AGA 020+ ONLY. It really needs to show what the machine can do.
