"My PC can do what ever the Amiga Did and More.."

25 years later? Perhaps.

But on Amiga you can do some things in a nicer or different way.
- jump from application to another in 1/600 of a second
- backup & restore whole system with simple copy
- understand the OS guts & doings very quickly
etc..
 
1: A2000 has only double density drive. HD floppies tend to be a little unreliable on DD drives. For data transfers I recommend networking your Amiga or to try sernet / parnet to a PC & use PCs mass media devices from your Amiga.
2: depends on your TVs capability. Some TVs can be connected with RGBtoSCART cables, some via video cables (requires TV modulator to your miggy) or via RGB to VGA adapter.
3: There are alot of those.
5: see 1.
6: I have buddha flash -ide adapter on A4000. It's ok. I might move it to my A2000 one day. Some IDE controllers have also A1200 compatible clock port, with that one might be able to use USB devices. But see also 1 & parnet & sernet & massmedia....
7: AmigaOS is like rubber. With correct drivers & filesystems also A2000 can use almost any size of HDD. I find under 2Gig hard drives to be the most troublefree on old Amigas. (I've used up to 30GB on my old classics)

2GB flash drive might be nice idea for old Amiga ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoBF5Gtmv2Y
