Indeed the best thing to run on an Amiga was the OS it came with, but my main practical use for it was as a terminal emulator to work over the modem - and as best as I could make out, the Amiga's terminal program had an absolute limit of 78 or 79 columns, where I really needed 80. Nice font, but not enough screen for it. And since I was doing UNIX at work, I could mess around with Kerberos 5 authentication and stuff like that.
