                                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.
