One little thing that I always liked about the Amiga was that it could show human dates.

I never owned one, but my friend had an Amiga 1000, and I remember the directory listing had dates like "Last Thursday," or "Christmas, 1990," or "An hour ago."

I don't know if that was part of the stock Amiga OS, or an add-on, but it was awfully cool.



"Last Thursday" and "An hour ago" were part of the stock Amiga OS but it didn't include "Christmas 1990".
