It's been 10 years since I dusted off this computer and began the arduous task of upgrading it. Its a nice computer, but I think my disappointment lies in its graphics capabilities. I forgot how advanced computers have come in the last 10 years. The ECS is a slight improvement over OCS, but barely.
10 years ago the A500 was almost 10 years old already. I think your comments are unfair. For a 20 year old computer you can't really do much better. Unless you get an A2000 :-D
An 68030-50MHz, 32MB A1200 with HD and CDROM is still a nice machine for various tasks but you shouldn't expect AGA to offer you the experience you are getting from VGA cards and monitors the last 10 years. If you are after desktop applications rather than video/gfx/multimedia/games or you can't stand your old 1084S' PAL frequencies I would suggest a BlizzardPPC/BlizzardVision combo, a Mediator/Grex/etc, or a big box Amiga (A2000/3000/4000).
