Hmm. I don't know why people keep saying that.

The Amiga is not that complicated. If you just bought it and you want to 
write a BBS, THAT's complicated.

When I bought it, I wanted to write my startup sequence. The only problem
I had was the idiot company forgot to include the instruction manual,
forgot to mention it wasn't in the box, let some complete moron write
it, and got got tin-pot company to publish it, so I had to travel 2,000
miles to buy it.

All we need is good, clear, accessible manuals.
The new programmers docs are fine.
I hope they have started putting the ADos book in the box.
