A comment about vga cards. Remember at the time AGA was developed and released many 8 bit vga cards were just coming of age with 256 colors (8 bit not 24 or 32 bit) and not all of them had bit block xfer capabilities and some of them even had separated and non-linear memory.
AGA was very forward thinking at the time, the thing I hated most that when it went into a "multiscan" mode pull-down screens didn't work or didn't show the screens behind correctly if they weren't in the same scan mode (which makes sense), you'd see a screen with nothing on it from that screen mode (without any mode promotion).
I think the one thing I miss and will always miss though is those pull down screens.. It made the Amiga paradigm unique compared to windows, but most OS'es and systems just uses windows but don't have separate screens (unless they have a "virtual" screen manager).
It was one of the truly unique and useful things the Amiga User Interface brought to the world..
