little as I do, so if I just started doing what I told my boss I would do—read the manuals—I would be ahead of the curve. That’s what I did. Every night I would take home a different software manual, and I would read it. Of course the reading was captivating. Peachtree Accounting. Wordstar, Harvard Graphics, PFS, dBASE, Lotus, Accpac … I couldn’t put them down. Every night I would read some after getting home, no matter how late.
