Hi, What would you consider the most difficult thing on the Amiga from a personal perspective?

Okay, I actually meant more like setting up the internet or programming, but I wanted to be general so I could get some personal experiences.

For me internet was a breeze so were hardware expansions, I never took the risk of buying some new fangled hardware.
I did have a lot of trouble going from ROM 1.3 to 2.04 and up it was years before I later got Relokick.
It also took me a while before I got a hard drive too, they were unbelievably expensive.

I like this answer the most (but I have always been a "Cammy" fan).  Are you going to organize the Winter Holiday Amiga Game creation competition again this year Cammy?  It is a great idea and something that I wish more people would participate in and help sponsor prizes for.  Anything that gets people coding for the Amiga is a great idea.


I hope there is room for Christmas down under with an outback theme.

As others have said the interlaced hires screen-modes were one of the biggest pain and made using these modes a nightmare.

Also sheer speed was missing - when the A1200 came out it was already overtaken by cheaper PCs...

2nd hand 286s sure. A PC was more expensive, but that include 24 bit gfx, 16 bit snd and hard drive.
