...sort of.
With the program VirtueDesktops (http://virtuedesktops.info/), mac users can now enjoy an almost amiga-like OS experience.
Each application can have its own screen with its own desktop image. Switch between screens with a very cool cube effect or pick your transition effect of choice. This is also a really nice way of switching between OS X and Windows or Linux when using Parallels, the virtualization software.
I think this is way cooler than multiscreening on Amiga, which was the only feature from AmigaOS that I really missed (not that I would mind having datatypes and assign of course.)
Here are some videos of VirtueDesktops in action: 1 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=GUmnU3E4-x4&search=desktop%20manager) 2 (http://madeincr.com/sh1t/screencast1.m4v) 3 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_NCM3nJO3G4&search=virtuedesktops) 4 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=NOtkDKtzp4w&search=virtuedesktops)
