Introducing
the
Amiga
500
This chapter introduces you to the Amiga 500 by briefly describing
it
s capabili-
ties and potential.
The
first part
of
the chapter describes the components
of
the Amiga system and
summarizes how they work; this section is addressed primarily to those who are
not fami
li
ar with microcomputers
in
general
or
with the Amiga series
of
comput-
ers in particular.
The
second part
of
the chapt
er
summarizes the key features
of
the Amiga 500.
This material will be
of
interest to programmers, developers, etc. However, you
can set up and run application software without understanding (or even without
reading) this material.
The
third part
of
the chapter shows how the varied features and capabilities
of
the
Amiga 500 have been incorporated
in
a variety
of
software programs.
You
will
find that whatever your level
of
experience or your interests, there are Amiga
programs that meet your computing needs. And you will also find that
th
ese
programs are substantia
ll
y less expensive
th
an similar programs for other micro-
computers--even
though
in
many cases the Amiga programs let you do things
that are
just
not possible with the oth
er
computers.
