disclaimer: i love my amiga 600. i've spent far too much money refurbishing and upgrading it. i'll fight tooth and nail to say how it should've been a multimedia darling in its prime had commodore known how to market it proper

but holy shit is it hard to do anything other than simply run games on workbench. i am struggling so hard simply to customize the icons

is it really just this asinine or is it that knowledge has been lost to time? i'm having to scavenge answers from 2005 forum posts

if you ignore everything else that the amiga had going for it that was already completely squandered, if it had survived despite all of that, it's easy to see how the user friendliness of windows 95 would've absolutely blasted it out of the water

@mavica_again Sometimes it feels like all of computing history after the Amiga was a mistake. :P

@datarama ehh i dunno! i think commodore and the amiga software developers made plenty of mistakes, or at least neglect!
