I remember a machine that as it came out of the box, it showed you how to get started. Really brilliant. But we are not going to individually package machines: to expensive both in $s and environmentally.

<br><font size="3">The virtual laptop sounds like a program that came with
my old 90 mhz Thinkpad -- I think Ted Selker worked on it. It had a photorealistic
virtual view of the laptop that you could turn around in different directions
to see the various parts labeled, and it was integrated with documentation
and status displays and control panels related to all the gadgets and interface
plugs. For example, you could bring up the volume control panel by clicking
on the speaker, and stuff like that! <br>

Heh. Do you know how many languages are used in Pakistan, alone?<br>
Labeling the hardware is insane.<br>
