Why are All AMIGA Manuals so damn boring?

Reminds me of when a colleague said he found "C User's Journal" to be "a bit dry".

You're reading the wrong ones - various passages in the Reference Manuals are hilarious! We could quote them here but finding them is a major part of the fun.

Be glad you got manuals with them, most things you buy these days, you're lucky if you get a folded sheet of instructions and a disc with a PDF!

I still remember the manual for AmigaVision, in it's beautiful 3-ring binder that you could lay flat to read.  As I recall the A3000 came with a nice manual, as well.  Ah, the good old days!

Yup I agree. My latest pc motherboard came with a 5 page quickstart and then the manual was on a PDF on the driver disk. So unless you had another computer, which thankfully I did, you were stuffed if any problems popped up.
 
I do miss manuals that had useful information, detailed tips with pictures and proper technical specs.

My A500 manual actually taught me a lot, and the appendices are invaluable when tinkering with the hardware.  The workbench stuff is pretty unremarkable, though.

Genesis is have no manual, you had to set up CDTV before you could watch how to set up CDTV.
As it was on CD-Rom in those days nobody had CD-Rom drives! Even if did I think video was in CDXL file, so only Amiga was able to play it.
PS It wasn't that hard set up CDTV but... just saying!
