AFAIK the A3000 contains an IDE port, so you can connect a standard <4 gigabyte harddisk in it. Shouldn't be too hard to find in charity shops e.g..
Considering your kids, WinUAE isn't that much user-friendly. And you need to start Windows with it.
There's another option apart from WinUAE, a slim Linux distro which autostarts E-UAE, so it's like your PC actually is an amiga. I don't know what it's called...

I simply cannot think of a more user-friendly way than doubleclicking Winuae-icon and pressing Start-button.
Now take a good look at this screenshot, and tell me what the difference is between this screenshot and that what you just described.

Now don't take me wrong, I do like WinUAE, I like the options given there. But a 'noob' doesn't know what these options mean, so it's extremely confusing and 'hostile' in the eyes of a 'noob'. Moreso because these options need to be set, kickstarts need to be located (even at the time a 'noob' even knows what a kickstart is, he has a hell of a job knowing how to get one).

Now if you were talking about Amigakit or AmigaForever, then it'd be another story.

But still,
I know the Amiga isn't the nowadays answer, but the idea of Amiga actually is.

We need new computers!
