Now if one could fit the OS into that cache, then it would be so fast your head would spin ;)

Some things I missed on Amiga were:
 * Basic multidrop networking capability for get-to-gether-and-code (or copy..)
 * Ethernet (later)
 * Memory protection
 * Decent speed, decode of a 100k jpeg in 30 minutes is not my idea of speed..

Other than that it had great multitasking, music, graphics, discs and connectivity. What would the base standard for computing be without Commodore's own chip-fab! ;)
