When I first got an Amiga, everything was great about it.  The speech synthesis alone provided countless hours of hilarity.  I mostly used the A500 for games, drawing, and making music, though.

The best thing today, and in retrospect it was pretty cool back then too, is being able to find out so much info about my computer just by reading the manual.  It's a far cry from the documentation that modern computers ship with.  Even online, the schematics for my Dell aren't available.

It's also fun watching my modern PC and my A500 race to start up, especially since the Amiga always wins.


Thats one of the nice things. For a commercial OS, they documented the hell out of everything, down to how everything worked. Very nice.

a machine that comes on in 10 seconds or less and is actually ready to roll at that point, is nice.
