The A2000/500 are good machines, to this day. I'm typing this on an A2000 right now, albeit with an 030 and PicassoII card in it. I also towerized a Rev.6 a500 with a Bodega Bay busboard and it is quite useful. Though it has only a 2.04 ROM I can use go online with Miami and use email, ftp, and other clients, though no graphical browser.
