Welcome to Amiga.org and the Amiga community. I tried to convince my dad to buy me an A2000 back in 1989 (or so), but he bought me a GW2000 386/DX33 instead. The excitement of the 386 quickly left, so I bought an A1200 my second year in college. A few years later Commodore went bust. Then a few years after that I learned some of why they went bust, then I was *quite* upset at the management. Anyhow...
There are some vendors still, although most seem to be out of Europe but ship to the US. Amigakit.com is a US vendor where you can still buy an A1200 if you wish (it's listed on their site as available anyways).
I think you'll be surprised to learn what your A2000 can still do along with what hardware and software is still available. AmigaWriter 2.2 is a word processor that is still commercially available for your school papers. Papyrus Office at one time was available for Amiga, but Vesalia.de indicates it's no longer available for the Amiga, but the developer, titan-computer.com, could tell you for sure. Papyrus Office is an integrated office suite developed around 2003 that is similar to iWorks by Apple or MS-Works by MS.
There is a magazine still being printed about the Amiga. It's published in Europe but are shipped to the US. Amikit.com sells the magazine, too. Amiga always seemed to be more popular in Europe than here in the States. I guess because they're smarter than us.
AmiWest is still going as well:
http://sacc.org/amiwest/. You can also upgrade your OS to AmigaOS 3.9, but you'll probably need the Kickstart 3.1 ROM chip. *If* you can find a PowerPC card, you could get the new AmigaOS4.
And I don't work for Amigakit.com, but they're the only Amiga related distributor which is still active in the US that I am aware of, so that's why I've mentioned them.
