Its a nice computer, but I think my disappointment lies in its graphics capabilities.
When you were first starting your A500 upgrade, I think about seven of us suggested that an A1200 would be better. So as I said, get youself a brand new A1200 from Amigakit and you'll probably have much more fun.
As for the A500 - having only 16 colours in high-res (only useable A500 WB mode) is a bit of a disappointment, but if you use those colours well, things can still look nice (take a look at my screenshots if you haven't seen them).
I use my A500 as my main (only) computer and the only disappointment I have is running out of RAM on huge webpages with javascript and a recent unexplained memory freeing problem (probably dying RAM chip). Besides that, I had years of fun using my A500 as my main computer.
