Just publishing on the web wasn't an option at the time. But damn! I remember reading at the back of a C64 manual as a kid. Trying out the various "commands". I had no concept of "programming" or "basic". This was just how the machine worked and I was occasionally in the mood of figuring it out. That time will never come again, for me or anyone else.

Illustrations showing how to connect the pieces and what buttons to press [L][O][A][D] [RETURN] Enabled me to start following the instructions without knowing any English. What a brilliant manual it was!
