Most of the notes, cautions, and warnings I have been asked to put in
manuals were silly at best:
Do not look into the laser light beam.
Do not stick your fingers into the fan.
Do not insert a Zipp disk into the floppy disk drive.
Do not ride on the instrumentation while in transport.
This plastic bag is not a toy.
All of this CYA stuff is just for legal, IMHO.
