   The Amiga made a giant leap in hardware capability, then stood still as   
   competitors surpassed it. For example, the Apple Mac was able to improve   
   its hardware with minimal breakage in app compatibility, because of its   
   good software abstractions. Whereas Amiga apps had to work directly with   
   the hardware, so that hardware could not be improved without breaking   
   those apps.
