I'd go ahead and use it. Mostly it would be good for retro gaming and although he'd probably have to get an accellerator off of ebay to do anything "serious" with it; he would get the flavour of it, maybe whetting his appetite for a 4000 or 3000 (or even 2000) bigger box that is more expandable. He should probably be mad aware of the Amiga battery problems which might even affect a "new" Amiga that is several years old. ;-)
