A lot of features were so far ahead it was astounding. Many applications were scriptable with AREXX (the Amiga Rexx language implementation), and we could process data in one app, send it to another, process it again, save it, etc. Unix philosophy made available for any gui app. I remember the awesomeness of adding arexx support to my program and being able to script it. I learned basic, 68k asm, C as a teenager thanks to the Amiga, I also had Latex and a printer for high school and college papers. Then added a modem and had access to the fidonet network. Also, remember the Fred Fish's disks ? I still call my debug functions "dbug" everywhere I can as a tribute to his work (he also was the author of the C dbug library). I can't emphasize enough how this computer and its great hackers community changed me.
