What are your pet hates? - Amiga related
« on: June 27, 2013, 11:11:52 PM »
Hi,
What are some of your pet hates about AmigaOS, Amiga games, AROS, WinUAE etc?
Leave out anything that is likely to cause blue vs red battles plz. :madashell:


My first one: The A1200 is nice and sleek, but it is also flimsy and can break.

Why don't you just admit that PowerPC really isn't that good?
There are awesome (or lousy) CPU's under any architecture. PowerPC has plenty of negatives. ARM is powerful, but it might chop out things you would find in a desktop CPU.

68k died a premature death.

btw. How good was the PA-RISC which Commodore would have adopted?

No. 2 (More of a gripe though)
 The Amiga 500 could look ridiculous with external expansions hanging off it.

No. 3. Back in the day you would have been el supremo having the giant Amiga 3000 tower. Nowadays nobody would want a 20kg monster as a computer.

No. 4, 5 and so on...

lol, I remember how people use to complain that the keyboard didn't F11 and F12.

Also the diskdoctor option which couldn't actually salvage a corrupted disk.

There were a couple of games that could use paddles, but why bother?

The price of RAM back in those days $$$!
