Dear All:

As I have said many times before, the existing (lousy) system is that we get the manual in very rough English 4 months before we get release. I dislike this and am trying to change it. I do the "rewrite" into more understandable English myself based on their really rough copy. This is before I am at all familiar with the device. ALL I get to do is translate what they say to some semblance of "understandable".

We use the FAQ sheet on our website to make up for the rough manual. That FAQ sheet is due now for a review as well.

I hear you and I know the problem and we are trying to improve the manual and the FAQ sheet. I will meet with both factories at CES and will make it clear we have got to improve!
