Wow, an A4000, I'm jealous. Amiga 4Ks are nice,
because you can turn them into Toaster/ Flyer systems,
and make TV shows like Bablon 5, thats my goal. Just
to get a better idea on exactly what you want to do.
What is the goal you are working for, to do what on
your Amiga. You've got one Quarter Horse of a machien,
so you're opptions are wide open. I'm the kind of guy
that dose not like to get more, unless I'm going to
need it. Thats why I own video systems to play video
games on, computers are for work, not play,
well...some times.
Now you've minchened that you are a wed designer, is
that what you well be doing on he Amiga?
You said that you need help on the graphic end, what
exsactly will you do in the graphic field.
Will you be working with 3D graphix, or editing 2D
graphix?
I'm asking so I can get an idea on what would be the
best way to go. I've been keeping up on the graphix
end of the Amiga, because I'm and Artist, Graphix B me
specialty, yah know. Let me know what you are going to
use your Amiga for. You may alrady have all you need,
but it's not setup for what you want to do. Unlike me,
I have an A3000,ECS, not AGA like you've got. So a
graphix card was the last upgade I've done. Now CPU
speed is the next one. Okay, E-Mail me and I'll see
what I can help you with, take cear.
