You mentioned the IBM Bridgeboard. If you buy the A500, you can not use it. Although there is a product called the subsystem which gives you two Amiga 2000 slots, the problem is that the Bridgeboard comes with a built in 5.25" drive which would be closed in if used. It would be very technical to remove the drive, … On the level of inherent capability, the 500 and 2000 are virtually identical. I have the 500 with the A501 extra memory and clock/calender. I have not yet encountered something I can't do. The main difference between the two computers is expandability. My best recommendation is check around for prices, and unless you expect your nephew will need expansion beyond a 3 megs, you might want the 2000. Hard drives are especially expensive on the 500. Hope this was helpful. — Ethan
