Recently a certain [the name escapes me] CATS official asked for information
on how to improve the useability of the computer.

Well, here's an interesting thought, wouldn't it be nice if we got a manual
with the computer which tells us how to run the machine?

I mean, yeah, you get that piece of garbage that they send you -- but what
about shell commands?  What is all this mountlist stuff?  This needs to be
documented standard with the computer, or else the standard [workbench] interface
must be able to manipulate such things without the knowledge of the average
[dumb] computer user.

I hope that they already do this, it's been awhile since I bought my machine,
but it's really *bad* when you get a machine without manuals that tell you
how to run the thing... :(
