[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 367169, member: 24753"] I subscribe to Tim the Tool Man Taylor's philosophy of, "Real Men Don't need Instructions", which means I learn a lot of things no one else does. But the flip side is some common knowledge is still a mystery to me.:) Seriously, if I may, I'll skim thru a manual before I buy something just to get an idea of what bells and whistles it may (or may not) have. Once acquired, reading just makes my brain go numb, so I tend to look at a bell or whistle, reference the manual for what it does and how it works and play with the gizmo. Kind of getting to the point where if I do not use the info, I lose it pretty quick. Now what was the question? [/QUOTE]
