I am thinking about buying some kind of Amiga system. The primary use
of this system would be word processing / graphics / desktop publishing.
Also, I'd like to do some software development, hopefully in Modula-2.

What I am thinking about right now is:
         Amiga500
         1084s monitor
         A501 memory expansion kit
         external 3 1/2 inch drive
         a 24-pin printer (NEC p2200, Panaasonic 1124, Epson LQ850).

I'd like your advice. Does this sound like a reasonable system?

Would it be a good idea for me to spend the extra money to buy an A2000?

I also need some help picking out software for the applications I
mention above. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
