what kind of specs would I need to use my amiga everyday

[swoslover]

If I wanted to use my a1200 for general use, all I need is internet access (at a reasonable speed) and word processing (preferably with word compatibility).

What kind of upgrades would I need for this, if possible.  My 1200 at the moment is of the bog standard variety.  

Also can anyone tell me is amiga future worth buying and are there any new programs being developed for amiga?

I didnt think it was such an unresonable prospect.  Sorry for being so stupid.  I had the belief that amigawriter 2.2 had some compatibility with word, perhaps that is my mistake.

I also though internet access would not be a problem, however I was under no illusions of it being as quick as my current set up (ibook g4).  My gf needs a new computer so I was thinking I could give her this and use an amiga for my limited needs of browsing and wp.

Also I recently saw an a1 on ebay, a rarity it must be said, go for 650 or thereabouts, is this worthwhile or is a set up like an a4000 040 desktop adequate (there is one on ebay now)

Ok cool

All this curiosity was aroused, originally, when reading an ST forum where they bemoaned the fact the ST was dead while the Amiga scene was still very much active.

I didn't think it was all that unreasonable to use a "souped-up" Amiga for WP and the net, although now remembering laborious surfing on my 200mhz dreamcast I have some perspective.
