Anybody read a good manual lately?

Because everything has been dumbed-down and the ASSumption seems to be nobody is interested in understanding anything. All they want is results.
Alternatively, people used to be willing to pay for the best and now most people just want "cheap." Printing manuals is expensive and so is shipping them. The manufacturers can cut corners by shipping a new device with a 20 page Quick Start Guide and give you a CD or links to the real doc. Most people won't complain, even if we do.

Personally I've been going over all the HP 48 and HP 50g doc I can find. Several thousand pages, so it's not a one-day project.
