RE: Warnings

[JB Foster <jb -dot- foster -at- shaw -dot- ca>]

Actual I do ... like lots of other tech writers.

The first page of our future service manual, includes a blanket statement:

"The actual design, and/or parts used for each unit, may vary slightly from
that of the illustrations in the manual. Therefore, illustrations and
descriptions provided are intended as a visual aid only, and (my employer)
cannot be held responsible or liable for any errors or omissions found
within this document. It is the responsibility of the end-user to insure
that all information is current, and any relevant service bulletins are kept
up to date. All indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or
misuse of this manual is the exclusive responsibility of the end-user".

Never hurts to be too careful.
