You guys covered most of it.  I would add the Ram disk: and RAD:.  


I especially appreciate how the Amiga is not "modern".  Some (in previous forums) have argued that Amiga is outdated because it lacks this or that feature of modern OSes.  In my mind, Amiga is the sole occupant of it's own branch of the evolutionary tree. That branch is not outdated because much of it was never improved upon, nor are the concepts inferior simply because most of the world was sold a different choice.  I feel marketing forces moved computing to a different branch and have largely determined what a modern computer is.

Anyone can buy and use a modern computer (I have them, too), there are only a few thousand Amiga users in the world.  We lucky few.  "..other computer users hold their manhoods cheap.."

Oops, I got radical again (sorta reads like Henry V, grin).


EDIT:  The only modern features I would add to my Amiga experience are: CSS, USB, a broader selection of video codecs, and DVDs.  Some of this can had by simply upgrading my hardware.
