Summary

This quote by Arthur C. Clarke humorously compares reading computer manuals without the actual hardware to the frustration of reading sex manuals without the necessary software. It suggests that without the practical implementation or equipment, the information obtained from manuals is useless and unfulfilling.

However, acquiring the necessary hardware or software can often be costly and requires investment.
