sounds like one of my Bosses fav scenario's in the early 70's or late 60's his company bought a software and hardware for a new style tape backup system (Note that back then there was no standard.) The included the instructions on how to use the system on the tape that came with the product... Course the fact that if you could read the tape, you didn't need the instructions, or that if you needed the instructions to learn how to read/write tapes, you couldn't read the tape in the first place, didn't occur to anyone at the company that manufactured the product. It apparently sat unused for 6 weeks before they finally got a rep/tech from that company to come in and show them how to set it up, read the tape, and then now that they knew how to set it up and read the tape.... they could read the instructions.
