Aww, I thought I'd get the blame for putting networking on that list.
Yes, networking wasn't that common on PCs back then, either.
My Amiga business partners thought a DECnet for Amiga would be
real popular. We ported it. It wasn't. Not even paired with
Dale Luck's X Window to turn the Amiga into an X term.
Sometimes the ideas are in the wind - yes, Mac had Hypercard,
but tagged text file help file / doc file systems were in place
on the Amiga, too, predating HTML.

The rest of it, yeah, but not networking and
hypertext. By "not" I
mean that those are not thing that were groundbreaking with the Amiga.
The Mac had Hypercard and the Amiga never had any decent networking
until long after it was introduced.
That's true. I shouldn't have lumped networking into that list. My
only excuse was that I was into networking Amigas long before most
other users cared about it.
