A friend of mine(graphic artist) is leaving our firm to go back to being a 
freelancer. She has an Amiga 2000...but no knowledge of the Internet. 
So...I've volunteered to help. Sad to say I have no knowledge of the Amiga. We 
need some help.

1. Where can she purchase modem/software for dial up access to the Net?
2. Are there online resources I can download? If so, where?
3. Suggestions for freeware/shareware tools for usenet, mail, etc.
4. She has not used her Amiga for some years. She has been toiling in the 
broadcast arena(Paintbox, etc). Are there enough resources available for her 
to go back to the Amiga and do her artwork...or would she be better off going 
with a new Mac or PC?(I realize there is a pro amiga bias in here...but she 
has no new software, everything is 5 years old or more...so objective 
responses would be appreciated.)

Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts, opinions, flames or fluffs would be 
appreciated.
