This sounds like a good beginning.  Why not make Dagwood Bumstead be our hero?
With the Amiga, he could have all the reports done on time, slip a little
Marble Madness in on the side, and go from the butt of the boss's ire to the
guy who made Mr. Dithers into the pussycat well all know and love, all with
the help of his trusty Amiga 2000.  At home, the kids would be busy with the
1000's, and Blondie would have a modem on her Amiga 2000 for gossiping with
the neighbor ladies all over the world, use a filing program for her club
records or recipies, and Daisy could be teaching the pups hunting skills with
some educational software on her Amiga 500.  (Bard's Tale, maybe? ;-)

(Just finished Bard's Tale, can't wait for the Bard's Tale II port to come out!
 You ought to see my IFF lo-res dungeon maps!)
 
 Kent.
