Thanks for all the help. The only thing was the A500 came cheap and the 2500 is not very inexpensive, but I am looking to replace my PC with it :-)
Aaaah, that sir, is a very noble goal. However it is also quite a big quest needing a lot of money. You will want to get a 060 card, a Picasso IV gfx card with all bells and whistles (audioadd on, TV tuner etc). But even with a über-Frankensteined A2000 you will find that e.g. browsing with an Amiga is still a very limited experience. IMHO the best you could do if you are serious about wanting to learn to use AmigaOS is to get AmigaForever6 (a fully licensed emulation package based on WinUAE). It would enable you to run anything up to OS3.9 on your PC and speeds greater than any real-world Amiga.
But then again...I'm a grumpy old Amiga-user who is fed up fiddling with failing patched-on hardware and worse software and even more fed up waiting for OS4 ;-).
