[Electronics-talk] need to share

Thu Mar 25 22:40:29 UTC 2010

 Vince:  Unfortunately as far as I can tell things have not improved.  I
find it so frustrating when I can't just take a manual and read it and have
it take me through the step-by-step instructions.  Frequently I write these
things down in Braille and keep my cheat sheet handy until I have it
memorized.  Since I am such a gadget nut, however, I like to figure out how
things work but with phones that is a little more difficult than with some
of my favorite kitchen gadgets.  Having been a rehab teacher, I had to learn
how a lot of things worked so I could help my students; it was really fun.

Hi, Joyce:
I've found that most online manuals are just scanned versions of the print 
edition.  And just like it would be if you were to scan it yourself, 
graphical characters still exist.  So, where there's an asterisk depicting a

certain key, it isn't explained and you are still left frustrated and in the

dark about how to use the product.
Now, I must admit, it has been sometime since I've seen an online manual. 
So if things have improved, please, by all means, correct me.
Vince
