One impressive example I saw was of a "high seas sailor" acquaintance I knew, who ran an A4000 with a warp engine+scsi and picasso 4 with a Magellan set up: web, IRC, burning playstation , ahem "back-ups" ( 4 burners going), running x-copy with 4 floppy drives, downloading files continuosly, playing mods in the background, and he was bringing up listers, creating folders of software "packages" that we wanted, and he ran a BBS at the same time. Windows 98 had just come out, but next to this Amiga, it was a toy.
And for all the "no memory protection" arguments, here was an amiga that had up time in the months, doing all sorts of crap, but this was in the hands of a guy who really knew how to set it up right.
I would then go home to my 2mb A1200 and cry myself to sleep....
