WOW! That is quite a jump from a TRaSh 80 to an Amiga 2000!  I used
TRaSh 80s in high school about 6 years ago ... and they were grossly
out of date then!   Anyway, to the point of the question ... don't
go buying a bridgeboard until you have checked out EVERYTHING!  If
you do, you might have well just bought a Pee Cee in the first place
and never mind the Amiga.  There are quite a few databases out there
to choose from.  One of the biggest names I can recall off hand is
SuperBase, but I've never used it.  I just purchased micro-fiche
filer myself, but have not been able to spend much time with it yet
as I don't have a monitor yet.  The main point that I am trying to
make is that if you buy a BridgeBoard to do the things your father
needs a computer for, then you have just wasted $2000 or more on
an Amiga that is not needed.  If you can't find a program that will
suite you, why don't you consider selling the 2000 and getting a 
clone?  A new clone will be slightly more expensive than a bridge
card and with selling the Amiga you can pocket over $1000.  Mind
you ... don't get me wrong, the Amiga is a remarkable computer ...
and I am quite sure you will find the program you need.  All I
am saying is that if you can't find it, then what the heck do you
have an Amiga for?
