Back in the 90s I had switched to a PC (Pentium 120MHz 8MB RAM) running Windows - not a good experience after using the Amiga.  It was slow as molasses, multitasking was abysmal and it crashed a lot.

Then, pretty much out of the blue someone sent me a copy of BeOS.
It was amazing - it was fast, it multitasked (properly) and didn't crash all the time.  None of these were true for Windows.  After using Windows it felt just like being on an Amiga again.

The Psion 5mx also reminded me of the Amiga for some reason.  It was a real computer rather than some toy.
