Personally, I liked the Amiga's paper manuals far more than any online
manual. For one, it's very difficult to teach a complete newbie how to use a
computer, when they can't use the online manual in the first place! The
paper manual is good because it starts by teaching you the real basics - how
to plug the computer together, how to use the mouse and the user interface,
and the incredibly important safety information like "Never switch off the
Amiga when the drive light is on".
It's always nice to have a paper manual to refer to, I've never liked online
guides for teaching the real basics. Although they can be good for a
beginner's guide to programming, stuff like that.
<subliminal message> decent paper manuals are very important </subliminal
