RTFM

As with many of the Kids' albums, there is enhanced material that the Kids themselves have programmed. Unfortunately I can't install the content anymore, but I seem to remember (with the help of some directory exploration) that it's mainly a production diary complete with studio movies and audio clips, some BMP files, and a couple of videos (a strange medley starting with Junior Citizen was the only one I could find, but I seem to remember there being more).

If you're on Usenet, you'll find the canonical source of manuals on rtfm.mit.edu, a SIPB-sponsored service at MIT.

Most web communities have their own manuals, which should be located off of their front page.

RTFM /R-T-F-M/ imp.

[Unix] Abbreviation for `Read The Fucking Manual'. 1. Used by gurus to brush off questions they consider trivial or annoying. Compare Don't do that then!. 2. Used when reporting a problem to indicate that you aren't just asking out of randomness. "No, I can't figure out how to interface Unix to my toaster, and yes, I have RTFM." Unlike sense 1, this use is considered polite. See also FM, RTFAQ, RTFB, RTFS, STFW, RTM, all of which mutated from RTFM, and compare UTSL.
