also i came up with an idea called wrapping paper instructions which never
got deployed
I think NeXT may have picked up on that idea at one point. Or maybe it was
IBM. I remember a machine that as it came out of the box, it showed you how
to get started. Really brilliant. But we are not going to individually
package machines: to expensive both in $s and environmentally.

here is how we deployed it (still has problems
also i came up with an idea called wrapping paper instructions which never
got deployed: no text
it showed how to open the laptop, put in the battery,use the "ultrabay,
remove the disk, open the keyboard to get to stuff, turn on the computer ,
plug in the computer, and use the notebook latches.

Re: [Trac #1309] kids learning to read like labels, but there are few
The virtual laptop sounds like a program that came with my old 90 mhz
Thinkpad -- I think Ted Selker worked on it. It had a photorealistic virtual
view of the laptop that you could turn around in different directions to see
the various parts labeled, and it was integrated with documentation and
status displays and control panels related to all the gadgets and interface
plugs. For example, you could bring up the volume control panel by clicking
on the speaker, and stuff like that!

Well, Albert still got a point here. How about having a virtual
laptop? Something with a lot of labels and explanations that you can
take apart (and reassemble with just a button click)?

Heh. Do you know how many languages are used in Pakistan, alone?
Labeling the hardware is insane.
