Also I can't believe people still use Amigas! LOL
I will tell you that there were features of the Amiga that have STILL not been duplicated on either Macs or PCs... things like changing screen resolutions in midscan... Half the screen at 640x480, a third at 1024 x 768, and another sixth at some other rez... and the ability to drag those screens up and down. I often blew away PC and Mac users when I would have up to eight or more DIFFERENT resolutions being displayed at the same time on the same monitor.
In a day when the PC and Mac did not even have cooperative multitasking, the Amiga used true hardware controlled multitasking and it was extremely smooth... It also had a Unix like kernal and an OS that could boot from a single floppy... very tight, very well written. It was capable of emulating both DOS and Mac operating systems as fast as they ran on native machines (actually, the Mac emulation was faster on an Amiga than on a Mac with the same speed processor).
The Amiga pioneered the use of multiple processor computing. It was the Amiga that lead the way to the idea of having graphics handled by something other than the CPU... my Amiga 3000 had EIGHT co-processors. This was the secret that allowed a 25MHz 68030 Amiga to emulate a Mac and run it faster than a 25Mhz 68030 Mac could do it... the Mac used the CPU to do all graphics work while the Amiga had two co-processors to do it, leaving the CPU free to do more computing.
The Amiga 2000 with the NewTek Video Toaster was a phenomenal combination that opened broadcast quality video to the masses for the first time... and was used by professionals as well, replacing over 100,000 dollars of video switching gear with a $2000 computer and a $1600 video processing card.
The PC and Mac versions of the Video Toaster were really funny... both were a complete Amiga 2000 (with name removed) with Toaster card, connected to a complete PC or Mac through a SCSI cable... and only used the PC and Mac keyboards to control the Amiga... and display the Video Toaster control panel on their screens, while displaying the video output on the Amiga's screen. We Amiga users called the PC and Mac Video Toaster approach the most expensive dongle arrangement in the world.
The Amiga was a very sophisticted computer that was 10-12 years ahead of its time. I still have my Amiga 3000 and it booted fine the last time I tried it a couple of years ago. I still get some Amiga eNewsletters... the enthusiasts are still trying to resurrect the Amiga. It now runs on PowerPCs...
One slight correction... I misrememberated... it's Jack Tramiel who bought Atari (with no money down, incidentally, and a promise to pay $140million dollars later) thinking it had the Amiga...
Sam Tramiel is his son who later became the CEO of Atari after his father elevated himself to Chairman of the Board.
