Was only really impressed by one computer I ever purchased. It was an Apple Performa 6400 VEE. It was one of the first computers to come with a video card and everything else you needed to digitize and edit video. Hey, it even did S video.

Anyway, what really impressed me is when you opened the box. First thing you saw as a sheet of paper filling the whole top of the box that showed step bay step own to unpack the computer, set it up, and plug everything it. The illustrations were so good it didn't even have text. The last step was turning the power on.

When the computer booted up, instead of all the login and setup screens a girl walked out onto the screen and literally walked and pointed to everything to setup and start using the computer. Starting with the mouse and how to use it! She even showed you how to go to the menu and click on help if you got stuck. Selecting help, she would walk out onto the screen and help with whatever you last tired to do. And they had her video help available for not just operating the mouse, keyboard, user interface, but every piece of software on the computer including word, spreadsheet, database, graphics, and video editor.

All you needed to completely operate everything on the computer was to be able to understand English.
Which on second thought still might not work.
