New guy with lots of questions

In that case I'd recommend you to get an emulator package, say Amiga Forever (http://www.amigaforever.com/) which emulates basically anything from an A1000 or A500 up to an A4000. It will run fine on a modern PC and you avoid the hassle of getting an Amiga, finding space for it and findning floppies and transfer games onto them.

Blasphemy! To the gallows with you, traitor!

:-D

Get a REAL Amiga for full compatibility and get the WHDLoad shareware package to install the floppies to hard disk.

A few things I don't like are the cheap feeling of a PC keyboard, the different layout, the lack of A/A keys and no light in the caps lock key!

:-D ;-)

And there's the issue of Amiga hardware not being compatible with a PC... how do you use the software then?

What would be cool (and the dimensions would be just right) is the complete embossed Amiga logo with the H.DISK, F.DISK & POWER LEDs for fitting into a 5.25" bay!

I've always longed for a drive bay cover with a SCSI-ID selector, clock and CPU temperature stats like those on PC too...

Make it so AmigaKit! Engage!

Pretending we are alone in the cosmos is a dangerous thing... there are hidden civilisations of Atari Jaguar coders, Acorn and Atari groups, C=64 web servers etc.

Other interesting cults would be those programming Amiga emulators for Sony PSP, Dreamcast and GameCube!

I consider myself lucky I had a ZX Spectrum 128k +2 as well as a Sega Master System. The quantity of games and their variety was probably a key to me seeking out more from a home machine.

I spent as much time meddling with Workbench as I did playing Sonic!
