I used Dpaint II to create the area fades and fills I use on my websites when I had my Amiga. AmigaOS was the only pre-emptive operating system on a PC. Apple and IBM went with a voluntary time-share operation instead. And it had REXX from Unix available to it. And a speech synthesizing chip that could announce the time with SPUDClock. Can't believe that was in 1985.

That is quite astounding. 1985. But just imagine trying to load some of today's web pages with their 150 network requests (FR has 3) in the first minute.

My Amiga was the slowest thing ever.

Didn’t do much at all with it.
