What can't you do on a classic Amiga?

What can't you do on a properly upgraded/expanded 68K Amiga that you really want or need to do?

If I give examples A and B, I am fairly sure I'll end up getting someone telling me that I don't need to do example A and someone else failing to understand why anybody would want to do example B

No, no, this is a friendly thread.  Please tell -- unless A or B is playing Call of Duty.

Honestly, these are the things that would TOTALLY bring me back to AmigaOS exclusively - and that a Classic Amiga currently can't do:

- full use of the internet including YouTube, and banking sites (would need to work with web-mail security encryption, and bank website encryption).  It would also need to render modern websites properly.

- Full audio multitracking - I know Audio Evolution is capable of this....but right now you need a very hard to find classic PPC accelerator to actually use it with any functionality.

- Non-linear video editing - Sony Vegas style.

Once a "new Amiga" comes out that can handle all of these things (and this would also mean some new Amiga software in the first and last cases) then I'd ditch other operating systems.  So I guess this isn't a classic Amiga anymore.

Classic Amiga systems still do a great job with MIDI recording, desktop publishing and graphics (even if they are a tad bit slow for the latter two).

Non-linear editing with Toaster/Flyer or with MovieShop/VlabMotion/Toccata is quite good IMO.  (No hi-def, of course).

internet and play videos really....need PPC at a minimum for both

Regarding decent internet (but not videos), would it not be possible with 060, enough memory, and new software?

Open a Docx file from work/friends/family.  Edit 14 MP raw images, Edit HD video, sync my iPhone.  That's just off the top of my head.

I have trouble opening docx files on my windows machine. :-)
