Stupid Amiga Tricks

One other thing the Amiga featured from Day One was multitasking, even on the base 256k model. Apple didn't offer that until way later. Plus, the built-in sound chips were way beyond anything Apple was offering at the time. Remembering reading a cool article back in the day -- Microsoft had a press conference about something, and Gates was spouting off about multitasking. He said that there was no way to multitask in anything under 8mb of ram. A reporter in the back raised his hand and asked if Bill was aware that his own AmigaBasic would multitask on a 256k Amiga 1000..... Gates pretended he didn't hear and moved to the next question.
