The one feature of the Amiga I really miss, daily, is the ability to
"assign foo:" to any path whatsoever, and have it available to all
programs and shell prompts as "foo:/path/to/something" instead of the
horrendous "C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\My Cool
Stuff\FooBar\v2\Path\To\Something".

Along the same lines, removable media were available using their
volume label, e.g. Blender_Disc2:, so one didn't need to know if it
was in the CD drive, the DVD writer, a USB device, or .... (to use
modern analogues. They were floppy disks back then of course!)

c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOS#Handlers.2C_AmigaDOS_and_filesystems
scan for "assign".

I don't understand why even linux never picked up on this idea, it's
just so *good*.

ok, off topic outburst over.
