I think the things that made the Amiga so incredible at its time were the special purpose chips for sound, blitting, graphics, etc - they really enabled new and wonderful things. Nowadays we almost have too much grunt to know what to do with it, everything runs in "true colour" modes, high quality sound is standard... I'm not sure where you could differentiate for capabilities.

But then, I guess that's the point - not many people could have imagined the Amiga's capabilities when it came out.

I would say if we "squeezed the juice" out of modern hardware like we
did back in those days it could be something spectacular. Though it
would probably not be a "wow, look at those graphics" spectacle, more a "look how quick my 400 browser tabs open" spectacle :)

DUDE THE AMIGA IS FUCKING AMAZING! THOSE GRAPHICS! D A T SOUND! THAT MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM!

Hi Nightfox,

On Saturday June 15 2024, Nightfox said to Vorlon:

that function for it to work. A touch screen is great for people that
have a adverse condition to a mouse, or health issues... Not so much
fun when a bug decides to walk or fly into the screen though...

The touch screen interface is probably what most people use on a device like an iPhone or other smartphone though. One time I plugged a USB

[..]

Also I've never had any bugs fly onto my smartphone screen..

I've not had that issue with a phone, but I have a 23" HP ALL in one...
How did I find out it has a touch screen? A bug flew into it and the system went nuts with it touching the screen. (The system was fron a client, so I didn't know it had touch support).
