I recently had some free time and used it to finish fixing up an Amiga 3000 (recapping the motherboard, repairing some battery damage on the motherboard). I installed AmigaDOS 3.2.1 and started doing things with it like running a web browser and visiting modern web sites.

The usability is worlds better than what we have now, even comparing a 1990 computer with a 25 MHz m68030 and 16 megs of memory with a four core, eight thread Core i7 with 16 gigs of memory. Interestingly, the 1990 computer can have a datatype added which allows for webp processing, whereas the Mac laptop running the latest Safari available for it can't do webp.

We've lost something, and even when we're aware of it, that doesn't mean we can get it back.
