The Manual

Don't ya hate it.... reading the manual..

I never read the manual to start with, always play with a phone,
camera, what ever it maybe first, then I skim through the manual.
And of course today you don't get a manual you have to download it off the internet.
Thank you to my friend Pam,
who downloaded and printed it all out for me,
otherwise it would be still tucked away on the net for a little bit longer I'm sure.

Manual to my FRED !!! ( new smartphone..Samsung Galaxy SII)

indeed those manuals...I like to experience with it and might not even know all the possibilities of modern technology,
but I can live with that
great thinking Dawn!

Yes!

I find it's usually counter productive to read manuals or assembly instructions unless absolutely necessary. Great capture of this goobly gook. :)Love the retro frame!

I was going to guess a Kindle but either way, a great photo and a great idea for this topic.

I hate manuals too, usually struggle though the essential bits and then learn as I go along.
Guest 04-Nov-2011 18:03
I never read them either unless I have to!
Guest 04-Nov-2011 17:35
I should read them but I never do, LOL at Norman's Comment!!! :)
J. Scott Coile04-Nov-2011 16:51
I should hate it but I rarely read them ;-)
Mary Terry04-Nov-2011 13:36
I like the fun retro processing on this image. Camera phones have come a long way!
Guest 04-Nov-2011 11:20
I find them very usefull, I put my coffee cup on them for a week, before I really have to throw it away, then I get angry cause I don't know how to make that option work! :)

Is this your stressor Dawn? If so, I absolutely agree with you! Drives me crazy not to get a paper manual any more...
Maaike Huizer04-Nov-2011 08:38
Well sometimes you have to, but it isn't my favourite thing to do.

I have been stressed today,by trying to set up a new digital tv in the kitchen; I used to be quite competent (for an old girl!)But the areal connection has beaten me today.My daughter will pop around tomorrow.Oh, this is in spite of reading the manual.

I hope I never break my rule of never reading the manual. Instinct gives me more enjoyment And problems. Love this gallery.

I'd have called your Samsung 'Sam'!!! And what would we do without Pam - 'Love you Pam...'
Maybe I'll call my Sony "Sonny Bill"
Cindi Smith04-Nov-2011 05:49
LOL! Yeah, I keep mine because sometimes I've needed them1

Fred's in the background laughing ;)

I always hate this manuals. Seem be be written by someone who thinks you always know anything about it
Sheila04-Nov-2011 04:00
It's all in legalese gibberish so that none of us want to read it. Definitely stressful stuff.

Ahhh yes, the manuals! What a dilemma. To read or not to read, that is the question. I usually do when nothing else works! V
