No manual was included with the computer, which is typical for most computers these days, but there wasn't even a quick start or set up poster (which the manual available online refers to) in the box.  I assumed  that the set up instructions were just missing, so I tried calling the customer support number.  The recording was pretty much unintelligible gibberish, and then it disconnected.  I went online to the Acer Community site and discovered that apparently the set up poster is a myth, i.e., no one was finding anything like that in the box.  Also annoying was a "serial ATA 6G 26AWG" cable that was included for no purpose that I can figure.  I'm pretty sure this computer is going back in the box and back to Amazon tomorrow, and I'll probably end up going to Microcenter where customer support actually exists.Edit: upped the rating to 3 stars.  With some minor trial and error, I got the computer working and everything seems ok.  Still annoying there wasn't any set up info.
