was supposed to be “easy” to use. I think there may have been some step by step guides about getting started that were in the original Macintosh box…which I no longer have.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">a couple of thoughts here… CUE, the Computer Using Educators group founded in Berkeley in 1978 by LeRoy Finkel among others. See <a href="http://www.cue.org/leroyfinkel">http://www.cue.org/leroyfinkel</a> LeRoy was a prolific writer,
esp of manuals for computers (he did 22 books about PCs, Macs, UNIX, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">His wife, Sue Talley, was with Apple, in Apple education, for years. She’s a graduate of MECC, the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium. She’s now back in Minneapolis, with Capella University.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The other possibility is Peter Hirshberg was Apple’s publicist (e.g. videographer and advertising genius) during those years. He undoubtedly has videotapes from this period.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It’s possible, but that was not so common in the 1970s or even the 1980s (the Macintosh was introduced in 1984). If they did exist, they would have been distributed on VHS tapes. Audio CDs were introduced until 1982, and DVDs were not invented
until 1995. <o:p></o:p></p>
