Found this old user manual for my favorite web browser at the op shop! They just dont make documentation like they used to!
Only cost me a dollar too.
This is how we all thought and hoped we would surf the information superhighway
The Chuck E. Cheese near me when I was a kid had the stand-up version. I was obsessed with that game.

Oh my god, now I finally understand this image I've seen on the internet:

Decent book, USSR is building a new supersonic jet with a new interface that can be controlled by thought. American pilot chosen for a mission to steal the jet, and has to think commands in Russian for the jet to act on them. “How do you say ‘fire’ in Russian?”
The movie's not bad either.
I'm a sucker for most Cold War stuff and did really enjoy Firefox
Huh, there's a very similar book, "Day of the Cheetah" by Dale Brown. Same plot except the US and USSR roles are reversed.

They don't make docs like they used to. For what it's worth, those "...for Dummies" books were never going to make anyone an expert on anything, but every one of them I've ever read was the most densely packed set of comprehensible information on the subject available at the time.
They don't do it anymore. Things changed.
