Yes, at LEAST one Meg!  Adding a one meg board to my system really changed
the character of the Amiga - from being able to barely run one application at a
time to being able to really multitask!  I now ALWAYS have at least two CLIs
active, usually an editor running, and something else going on at the same
time.

As far as 2 disk drives go, I don't agree.  With a machine of the power
described in the preceeding articles, most people will probably want a hard
disk... save me the $300 for the second floppy and apply it toward a hard
disk please!
