O.k. heres the situation, I obtained an Amiga 1000 and 500 from a friend and 
no
software was included.  So, I am lost.. without a manual or software.. I would
really like to try a few things out with the Amiga and could use some good
advice.  

1st. What is "Kickstart"? is it amiga's DOS?  
2nd. Can Kickstart be transferred to a disk (Is it like a system disk?)
3rd. How do I get it and how expensive would it be?
     From what I have seen, I will also need workbench.. How do I get that?

Neither of the Amiga's has a hard drive.. So I'm not sure how useful they will
be.. I am somewhat interested in upgrading them for as cheaply as possible.

Anyhew.. Please send me an suggestions.. I could use a bit of guidance.

Nick
