The flicker...
I think the flickering screen is the single biggest wrecking ball to hit the Amiga. Why? well I remember seeing the A4000 setup next to a PC and Mac display in NYC years ago. It was sad and funny to watch folks using the A4000 and saying thing's like "what the f*ck is up with this flicker" lol... 4 folks said the same thing...
How are you going to attract new users with a flickering display like that. Shows how out of touch Commodore were. Hey Let's remove the flicker fixer chip to validate to the outdated technological claims our competitors are making.
I remember when I was headed to see an A1200 on display at an Amiga store (probably the last or second to last one here in Orlando); from across the rather large and empty strip mall parking lot ('twas late at night; I just wanted a glimpse at whatever rolling demo it had going thru the store window) I could
see that mo-fo strobe.
Bluh.
'course C= and the Amiga were dead by the time the 1200 hit anyway, so...
