(I vividly remember my excitement opening up my 386 PC, with 85MB HD and turning it on for the first time!)

I’m not an advance manual reader (well, until after I have actually experimented with things on the device.) No, I have to turn that sucker on ASAP and see it in action!

I can remember when I was a kid on the way home opening up a video game and reading the manual, even smelling it because they all had the new game smell. Those were the days.
