In a few months my future employer will be buying IBM PC/AT's for most
of the people in our department.         

I am interested in a home computer - to use both for work related
jobs and home entertainment/recordkeeping etc. I find the
amiga appealing since it is user friendly ( so my wife and kids
will be able to use it), has a 68000 processor,
and supposedly will be able to run IBM PC
software. I haven't seen anything in this group about the emulator
but I have seen it advertised.

So what's the scoop? Can i expect to run software from my pc/at on
the amiga? Will they run at a reasonable pace? Anyone have any
experience with the emulator? Is it really available and working?
