- Congratulations, you have seen the light! Your best bet is starting with the
- A1200. The + version of this should be out soon, so it might be worth hanging
- on for a while. A stock A1200 will easily outperform a 386. You could go for
- the new 'Surfer' pack. This will include everything you need to get onto the
- Internet with. BTW - Amiga's are a dream to expand. You'll wonder why you
- ever had to use a PC. This way enables you to spread the cost which certainly
- makes life a lot easier. At the moment A1200 cost around 400 UKP, but I'm
- sure that this price is going to fall soon!

- Welcome aboard!
