HINTS AND TIPS
@2 --------------@1
Follow these few simple tips and you won't go far wrong
@4
* ALWAYS keep your floppy disks write protected this
very simple precaution can save you many hours/days/weeks of misery
with viri and corrupted disks.
@3
* NEVER eject a disk from the drive until ALL disk activity has completley
stopped, not just the drive light, listen to the whirring as well.
@2
* Never plug/unplug peripherals such as drives/printers/modems/cdroms
while your Amiga is switched on, the manual even tells you not to unplug
your mouse while the machine is on, that's a bit over the top I think
but they must know! After all they created the machine!!
@6
* ALWAYS check any new program disks with a good recent Virus Checking
program BEFORE running them.
#7CLICK ON 'NEXT' TO CONTINUE
@5
* If you have a hard drive have a virus checker running in background
so it constantly checks memory for viri and checks any disk inserted.
@1
* Give your mouse a clean as soon as it starts to
drag a bit, this will stop frustration for you and prolong the life
of your squeaky friend.
@3
* Until you know exactly what you are doing you should NOT use the
Amiga/Amiga/ctrl keys to do a warm reset. The main reason for this
is that if your machine has a virus in memory a warm reset will NOT
clear it out. Turn off your machine by the power pack and wait at
least 20 seconds.
@4
* A second disk drive is ESSENTIAL unless you want to go insane.
You can pick up a second hand one for about £35-£40, but they are rare
as once you have one you will not want to part with it.
@5
* A hard drive is desirable, especially if you want to program or use other
creativity tools or if you use Workbench a lot.
If you do buy a hard drive get the biggest capacity you can afford, and
I bet that won't be big enough.
@2
* A printer would be highly beneficial to most people for obvious reasons.
For a beginner a cheap old 9 pin dot matrix will suffice. From about
£40 second hand or a nice bubble-jet at about £100 2nd hand. Well worth it.
