My first computing experience was with the Apple II. The first paragraph of the instruction manual gave the beautiful words: "Lift off the lid". It then went on to explain where the CPU was and, briefly, what it did. Where the memory was and what it did, and where the I/O slots were, and what they did. After putting in the card for the diskdrive in the I/O, it then suggested putting the lid back on and working with the machine as a user.
Really????? !!! I am amazed! ... what a long way has Apple travelled since!! .... trying to imagine a similar instr. manual for an ipad!! Will probably start: "Before you lift off the lid you must accept the Non-disclousure agreement, that anything you see under the cover, will not be described or revealed to anyone, specially a Samsung employee!" Lev, can you bring this manual at the next Beginners' if you still have it? Daniel.
But every single user who read that paragraph now knew something general which applied to all computing...
Hope this makes some sense,
