Programming the PC (after the ST with its linear memory space) really felt like a step back in many ways. I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. It actively put me off from programming for a good while (that and Doom) because it was such a hassle, it felt so needless. Why make things harder than they should be, or why fail so bad at making hardware? (Remember this was an arrogant 16-year old thinking.) Needless to say, I came across such situations a lot more once confronted with the real world.
