I'd love an A4000 myself but I can't justify paying that much for old hardware...

I'd second the A1200 suggestion, you can do all the things your 2000 can do and more, especially if you like to use DPaint, you can get DPaint IV and draw with AGA graphics. It also takes up so much less space. But if someone you know is offering you an A4000 at a good price, well I'd be sorely tempted put it that way.

no.. I didnt mean HAM mode.

You can do 256 colors with OCS.

Blitter tricks.

Wha

I hope you mean Copper.

Well you can do that, if you're a coder and you know what you're doing. You can't do that in DPaint though. Is there any graphics software that allows you to do it? Besides, there are limitations to this technique.

AGA also has 24-bit colours to choose from. OCS is only 12 bit.
