I don't know how many times you guys have seen this question but here goes...

I am planning to get a PC for my personal work.  Up until yesterday, I was
going to get an IBM compatible 286 machine.  But a friend of mine told me to 
look into Amiga.  I know Amiga has really good graphics and sound but is it
really worth looking into?  I know you guy must know a lot better than I do.
So, why don't you help me out.  Tell me why you got your Amiga, instead of PC.

One of my obvious application is Word Processing.  I have used PC word 
processing and did not really like it.  I, though, like Mac type of word 
processing.  But Mac is too expansive.  How does Amiga word processing stand
up against Mac's?  Does amiga has Centronics interface so I can plug any 
printer in?  

Any info on Amiga would be helpful to me.

BTW, if you suggest me to go to library, I already did.  They don't have any
on Amiga.
Thanks much.  (in advance)

Dan Lee
