1. The A520 tv modulator. It is bad enough that the modulator wasn't included internally in the A500 (just like ALL Commodore 8-bits), but having this big ugly thing sticking out from the back of the Amiga was a bit annoying. The worst thing is that because of it's size it put some strain on the motherboard connector, and I often had to wiggle it a bit just to get a somewhat decent display. Sadly, this was a solution often used on other devices too (like parallel sound samplers), and I can't figure out why it was so hard to have a wire with plug that went from these devices to the Amiga. It would have made it easier to place the tv/monitor behind the Amiga as well.
2. The power switch. All Commodore 8-bits had one included on the computer, and this meant that their PSU's could easily be hidden under the table. But this was not the case with the A500, A600 & 1200, because here the user had to have this ugly box in plain sight just for being able to easily swith the Amiga on/off. Why on earth couldn't a power switch been present on these Amigas as well? Even the Ataris had this functionality (afaik).
3. The A1200 keyboard adapters. Why on earth have they this large DIN connector instead of a smaller PS/2 one? As far as I know, only the A2000 keyboard uses a DIN plug, and I can understand that it makes it easier for those who want to use this keyboard with the A1200, but what about the people who wants to use PS/2 instead? I would like to think that they were in majority, so why on earth did they have to use an adapter on the adapter?
Hope I'm not sounding too harsh here, because this is in reality only minor issues when thinking about the many hours of enjoyment my Amigas have given me over the years :-)
Oh and by the way, I see people mentioning the annoying floppy drive clicking here. Well the easiest solution for getting rid of this has always been to simply insert a floppy into the drive :-)
