See my other post as well - it has more good points. The biggest drawback is limited screenmodes (by todays standards) w/out extremely overpriced video cards. There are numerous modes but you need a monitor that syscs down to 30khz to use alot of theme and 15khz (read you can plug it into your tv) for many others. I had mine plugged into an old sony trinitron multisync and was able to run 800x600x64 colors reasonably well at 31.5khz but it took some monkeying to do. Historic note - I think I paid around 800$ for my original 14" multisync (15khz to around 75khz i believe) monitor in 1992. check out http://www.amiga.com What they are up to now. http://www.softhut.com/ Amiga computers for sale http://www.amithlon.net/amithlon.shtml A great x86 emulation http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/ emulator http://cloanto.com/amiga/forever/ commercial uae package Ok, I'll stop, Back to your regularly scheduled Mandrake related list -- dh
