Pan Am
Think back to when the "friendly skies" were really friendly. When you could board an airplane without a strip search, carry on more than 3.4 ounces of water and took your shoes off only if you wanted to.
There was a time when men wore suits and women wore their Sunday best when they boarded an airplane -- sweatpants or jeans were just simply uncouth. Smoking? Sure thing. In fact, a lovely young stewardess would light your Chesterfield as she handed you another scotch and soda.

Amiga was *way* cool, and they did it first. It all mostly worked (but, then, Flash, *mostly* works), and they didn't make you give up your left ball (/uterus) to get features.
