[comp.sys.amiga] looking for info on Amiga systems

Hello...

I am looking for some basic info on an Amiga starter system.  I do
not personally know much about amiga's, so any and all info is 
of use.

The particulars:  I would like to set up the system for a high
school junior that prefers the amiga for its graphics and sound 
capabilities.  We only have about $1,000 to spend, and would like
to get the best system for the $$$.  

I have foudn so far that an Amiga 500 is the place to start.  So..
does one find this box with a color (RGB) monitor, or just BW? How
about memory... i hear that hey come with 512K and can go to 1 Mb.
Disk... they have 1 internal...but is it worth running with an external,
or spending some $$$ on a hard disk.  Speaking of that.. what is
available for HD's?  How about printers.. what works well and is 
cheap.  

We aren't necessarily looking for a new system... so if you have an
amiga 500 that isn't doing anything.. let me know, perhaps we can
work out a deal.

Thanks for the info...

Keith
