See, this is what I mean. Here is the same issue about the Qosmio's user's manual that I'm talking about. There's a built in one but it ain't the same. This is a quote from a review about the Qosmio:
"5. The learning curve. The big companies that sell computers today are more and more moving away from putting big paper instruction books into the box your new computer comes in, and you will most likely find only a brief setup guidesheet inside the box along with your installation CD and a dozen flyers hawking various promotional items such as the ever-present AOL come-ons. Instead, the instruction manual is found in your in-the-computer software or at a company web site. This (a) saves paper, (b) you have your instruction manual wherever your computer goes, and (c) if the company wants to update your manual it is much easier to update your electronic manual. If you wish, you can, of course, print out the 300-400 pages of the electronic manual. The Qosmio has such an electronic manual, and while it is a good manual as manuals go, even so I wish Toshiba had included a flyer for mail-ordering a bound paperback or hardback instruction manual on the Qosmio. I still learn better if I have a book in front of me while I am tinkering with the computer. And a nice DVD from the company giving you a, say, 2-hour audiovisual tour of the Qosmio?s many, many functions, details, bells, and whistles would surely be a big help. As wonderful as the machine is, there is a LOT to learn- kind of like learning to fly a Boeing 747 actually, and Toshiba could do us all a favor by really using all its computer?s multimedia functions to give the enduser a 21st-century audiovisual learning experience- about the Qosmio and its secrets itself. "
By the time we figure out HOW to use this mother fucker it'll be time to BUY a new one.
