RE: Post-holiday reality: They don't need our stinkin' manuals??

I'm driving home for the holidays through the middle of Nowhere, Kentucky
and my 'Check Engine' light comes on in my truck. 

I freak! Oh no! I need to check my engine. It's still running at least. It's
11:00 p.m. Friday night... Hey, wait a minute. There's an owner's manual in
the glove box.

Yep, Check Engine light written up right there by some wonderful tech
writer. 

Nothing more than bad gas. <G>

Whew.  Saved me a trip to the auto mechanic.

I have a friend, he's an electrical engineer.  He buys lots of techie type
toys.  He's by no means computer illiterate, but guess what, whenever he
acquires something new, he lays the product, opened, aside, and reads the
manual, technical specifications, and any other piece of literature from
cover to cover.  I've experienced the "we dont' need no stinkin' manual"
syndrome, as I'm sure a lot of us have in our TW lives.  However, honestly,
I do believe that at some time in our lives, manuals WILL be read.
