Got an old Apple product that you still use (or want to use,) but need the owner’s manual? Apple’s posted some old manuals on their site for all your antique technology needs. Surprisingly, the Apple IIe manual is quite a funny read:

“Bulletin Boards:
Bulletin Boards came into being back in 1978 as a way for local computer club members to exchange messages with each other and to share programs by phone. Today there are over 300 computerized bulletin boards in the United States, and you don’t have to belong to a computer club to use one.”

Wow, really? Hey look, someone just typed letters so that it looks like a naked person!—MEGHANN MARCO
