I got my A500 a month and a half ago.  I ignored my girlfriend (who's
basically computer illiterate, by the way) for about a week straight,
then decided I better show my face at work :-).  When I came home and
fired up my machine, I found a small note she had written with notepad.
I can't reveal its contents here... let's just say we had a lot of fun
for a couple of days, and the Amiga languished on the desk.  Anyway, I
consider my girlfriend a "mass", so I figure if she can learn how to use
it adequately in the space of an afternoon, the rest of the "masses" can
too.  Where did you find fault with the intro manual?
