The Ability to Drag Screens for starters, with no apparent loss of processing power.
Screen Dragging was a trick that the Old Amiga Computers could do where you could, for example, have a 320x320 screen running, open a 640x480 screen and also run it's own screen, whilst say your Workbench (PC=Desktop) was at 1024x768
This was down to the legendary Amiga custom chip sets. A lot of people said that you couldn't duplicate this feature in modern graphics cards.
Well, there you have it, you can.

A feature of the very first Amigas called multi-tasking.
I remember a mate of mine asked me round to his house, way back in the dark ages of the 486, he started mucking about with his PC, chucked a CD into the CD drive started CDPlayer and then printed a Word document and said "How`s that for multi-tasking?" I couldn`t contain my laughter 
Time flies like an arrow.....Fruit flies like a banana!! 
'E' is for Ethernet. Used for catching Etherbunnies, Etherfish or Etherbutterflies.
 
No wonder there`s so much poop on my PC these days.

The Amiga was certainly great for proper pre-emptive multi-tasking. Something the PC still doesn't do as good now. My first Amiga was an A500 and I remember paying almost £400 for my first hard drive. A GVP8+ 40Mb drive. Eventually added 2Mb FAST RAM to it when it was £50 per Mb. After that I had an A2000 with a 120Mb drive and a Commodre CD-ROM drive attached to the A500 and then a ParNet cable linking the two. Round about that time I first started with PC's with a 286 in a mini-tower and a 120Mb drive and 8Mb RAM running DOS. Those were the days.
