In my head, I've used "you" forever, but I'd need to look at docs
20-some years old to be really sure. Now where _did_ I put
that box? Actual PRINTED manuals, it was. Glossy, coated
card-stock covers. High-quality paper. Perfect-bind.
Philips didn't skimp on the documentation in those days.
Too bad they didn't have a clue about marketing computers
in North America.
