Please post the response in the form of a FAQ so we can read about it.
I personally think that this would be quite appropriate for this
newsgroup since it is right on topic for what people here want to know.

There was a hugh amount of redundant information in the mail I sent you 
as far as the SX32 is concerned (the mailing addressed all out products) 
and the ordering information was rather specific. If theres some further 
interest I'm happy to distill/condense the SX32 stuff into a more precise 
guide & post it rather than using up unneccessary bandwidth all round.

Alternatively I'll Email anyone whos interested with the complete 
document. In any event it'll be uploaded to our webserver over the next 
week or so and I'll post the details here.

I have written a decent length review (12k) of the SX32 - if anybody would
like it drop me an email and I'll happily mail it to you.

 Howdy Eric could you email me that file you recieved on the SX32. It sounds
 like something I want. Now if I can find an LCD display I'll have my Amiga
laptop.

Hi there, "Amiga Lovers", here is my CD32/Sx32 setup...

        There is much talk in the industry about 500$ NET terminals, and set-
top boxes, here is my setup which represents, in my opinion the future of
Internet Terminals....
        It's inexpensive, very compact and elegant (about 1/4 of the Walker
size), quite fast and most of all its works perfectly well...
        At the end of this message I've included a few things I'd put on my
wishlist.

Here is my config to surf on the NET (much better than the AT Surfer pack)

--------------------------ACS Coniguration------------------------------------

 + CD32 + SX32 (fully internal expansion turning it in an A1200+++3.1)
  OS 3.1
  2meg Chip RAM
  4meg Fast RAM
  260 meg 2"5 Hard Drive

+ CDTV Keyboard (beautiful black separate Keyboard)

+ AT 1438s Monitor (not so bad when properly configured ;-)
                   (I have a wonderful flicker free dblpal
                   (704x536x256 display)

+ Olitec pocket 28.8 kbps FAX/Modem

+ Canon BJ70 portable printer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As my cd32 is, my setup is quite easy to carry arround, I can carry it
with me find a TV screen, a phone plug for my pocket modem (cigarette box
sized....)

I genarally surf with  some great TRANCE background CD-MUSIC (easy for a CD32)

        When I don't surf on the NET I play Gloom Deluxe with a special cp2
routine taking full advantage of the "akiko" chunky to planar chip (with a
result exceeding that of of an A 4000/040), still with a backround CD mixing
perfectly with Gloom Deluxe Sounds...

        My system is quite fast, and inexpensive  (not PPC or Pentium like
but who cares, anyway my system is cheaper and it suits my needs) it's
also very compact (CD32 sized)  and User friendly, fully customized to meet
all my computer needs
        BTW try doing that with a Saturn or a PSX ;-)

There are only a few things that I'd put on my wish list to be fully happy :


+NETSCAPE (either 1.x or 2.0x) because I've tried all the Amiga Browsers :
--------
Amosaic 2.0, IBrowse, AWeb, Mindwalker, but they don't satisfy my
needs (yes I need fast image loading and display and asynchronous comms)
and the few browsers that came close to those requirements do crash a lot...


+SimCity 1.4 AGA 020
--------------------
I hate SimCity 2000 and I find SimCity 1.4 too slow and with a too small
window (I'd like to be able to FTP download while playing SimCity quite fast
in a dblpal flicker free screen and listening to a background cd)


+Colonization AGA 020
---------------------
for the same reasons as above...


+ standardized filters or tools for import and export MSWORD and MSEXCEL
-------------------------------
like the XTND claris system or IFF to convert them for Amiga Spreadsheets and
word processors...
Yes I hate MS$@@@ and its products but they are the industry standards, you
can help it and for doing serious work you need to be able to save and open
MS documents from Mac and PCwindoz
For the moment I use a small Macintosh Powerbook 100 (68000 4/40) sitting next
to my CD32 setup (that is very compact) in order to convert and print
Microsoft made documents and exchange them with Amiga with 720k DOS disks...
I like FW but it lacks imoprt/exports filters


+ More Amiga compatible vector fonts
------------------------------------
Where could I get more vector fonts ? Is it possible to convert Mac"True Type"
fonts to Amiga vector fonts



"Amiga makes it possible"
"May we we make it happen"

L8r!

There is a library on some CDROM(s) with a library to
allow you to use or convert these. I can't remember
which one though. Something or other volume 2. Fonts
CD methinks.

 Hi folks,
          I'm thinking of getting the SX-1, will DCTV work on A
CD32/SX-1 combo??? If it does I'll have a nifty little 24 bit animation
player... If anyone has tried this, does the AGA chipset speed up the
DCTV considerably??? I'm currently using DCTV on an A3000/040/25
16megs.
