 I was going to say Evil Geniuses (O'Reilly).
 But I don't know who was first.

 The book is just a collection of the User Friendly strips; excellent 
 reference manual.

It's a good stage prop, too.  One of my friends was going for a
pre-sales job, and part of the interview was a 10-minute presentation.
 On anything.  He chose How to be an Evil Genius and took my copy of
Evil Geniuses in a Nutshell with him to hand out as the textbook on
the subject.  He managed to keep a straight face throughout the
presentation, unlike the audience.

He got the job, by the way.

Well I edited the inodes by hand.  With a magnet.

This may not be the origin, but I think it's one of the first times it was
