- 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.

- @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 are a power user, or 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
- £50 second hand or about £100 new. Well worth it.
