If you are not interested in AGA or ECS compatability then buy
Amithlon, it costs about £99 from most places.  It comes with full
versions of Art Effect 3 and Amiga Writer 2.0 which can import  MSWord
2000 documents.

If you really want a real Amiga check out www.amibench.org if you want
a second-hand system if you want to but new hardware www.powerc.com
www.analogic.co.uk and www.eyetech.co.uk are a good place to start.

I consider an 060 and graphics card essential items for modern day
Amiga use.  If you want to display AGA/ECS modes on a VGA monitor
you'll need a scandoubler Eyetech supply some good internal and
external version they also sell monitor switchers which are handy if
you don't want to keep swapping leads all the time.  If you chose to
go the Amithlon route Eyetech should be able to provide a monitor
switcher for two PC's aswell.
