My sister was given an old A500 and wants to write a thesis on it.

Q1) It's lacking a monitor.  Will a VGA or SVGA PC screen do the job?

Q2) Is there an A500 Word Processor program somewhere on the net?

Q3) If so and I download it on my PC, would the A500 be able to read a PC 
format disk?

Q4) Is there anything I should know about the A500, or can anyone point me to 
some background info on the net?

Thanks in advance for any info.
