Where are you located?

I am sure there are many friendly Amiga users in your neighborhood who could drop by and sort you out.

p.s. Amiga500 was primarily used as a gaming machine.   So it would be proper for it to be running games on display.

Yes I know that the Amiga 500 ran many powerful business programs but a majority of users spent a majority of their time playing games on it, as it was the ultimate game machine of that era.  Far surpassing the competition.
I do agree with you that the amiga was used primarily used for playing games. Although for historical purposes AmigaOS is a fine example of an early "window" based environment and while maybe not the first in the hands of consumers it was certainly the cream of the crop at the time, pipped Microsoft to the mark and most likely the first experience many people had of a WIMP based system. As such i think the Amiga Operating system is all too often ignored historically a key player in the industry at the time. The AmigaOS was almost certainly influential in future iterations of MacOS and windows.
