Agreed on the Amiga...preemptive multitasking and a full GUI on a

Complete OS & multitasking GUI, with desktop, TCP/IP stack, file
manager, text editor & complete web browser, /plus web server/, all on
a single bootable 1.4MB PC floppy diskette.
Boot off the disk, go online, surf. It was pretty amazing.
