The Amiga was really ahead of its times. It came out in 1995 (just a year after the first Mac) and it already had preemptive multitasking, custom audio and video coprocessors (with 16m colors, stereo sound) etc. I still have my Amiga 1200 (although my first one was an A500).

High five! I still have two A500+ machines, one of which has a 42MB external HD with this program on it. :) I did a 192-frame, full-color animation in DPIV back around 1996. Took me five days to finish. Still trying to figure out how to migrate it to my XP box.

Oops, I still have my A1000 in the garage, KS1.1 disks and all. When I was having a book clear out recently, the Hardware Reference Manual, ROM Kernel Manual: Exec, and the printout of Markus Wandel's Exec disassembly (1) all went onto the 'classics' shelf. 1: http://wandel.ca/homepage/execdis/exec_disassembly.txt http://wandel.ca/homepage/execdis/exec_disassembly.txt
