Top 3 best ideas in amiga history?

Best hardware? Probably the A500 itself. It was still revolutionary, compact and most importantly had a lower price. Software? Draggable screens in multiple resolutions. I still don't know any video card that can do it.

It`s a fact that piracy drove Amiga sales.  Some people have trouble admitting it though.

Everyone I knew that had an Amiga, also bought their games through an infamous man in Belfast who sold every Amiga game known to man for £2 plus 50p per extra disk.  I used to spend 10 quid a month on Amiga games from him when I was a kid.

Plus everyone used to copy games for each other.

It may have been bad for software publishers, but it was good for hardware sales.

Without piracy, there definitely would not have been as many Amiga users.

At least in the 80's piracy was very common and casual. Did it help hardware sales? Depends how you look at it. Piracy alone won't push sales, I'd suspect even the Tandy Coco had piracy.
