They say the Internet never forgets, but that is not true.  The Internet forgets a lot.  So many pages have disappeared, and these manuals will go too one day, perhaps maintained on archive.org.  Maybe.

I didn't think that computers came with manuals, well, anything more than that white page or pages of legalese.  Of course, it is ironic that you have to use your computer to go online before you can find out how to use the computer...
