- Well, I'm absolutely clueless about the whole amiga scene, so if
- there's a FAQ, I'll be happy to peruse it! Anyhow, here are my
- questions:
-
-
- 1) What is an amiga 1000?
-
- 2) What is an amiga 2000?
-
- 3) What is an amiga 3000?
-
- 4) What CPUs do the above use? How fast? What sort of bus(es)? How
- much do they cost?
-
- 5) Which machine(s) can you run amiga's flavor of UNIX on? Do you
- have to buy extra memory, etc. to do so? How much does amiga UNIX
- cost?
-
- 6) Are there C and/or C++ compilers available for amigas?
-
- 7) What is amigados? (Plz, beyond the obvious, "It's an operating
- system.")
-
- 8) Are there compelling reasons for wanting to own an amiga system?
- Will I get more bang for the buck than, say, buying a (now very cheap)
- 3- or 486 box with a whizzy monitor?
-
- Thanks in advance!
