I really think it's a certain percentage of males that don't. I always read the manuals but not always before I dive into a product. I hate products that don't have them. When I get something new, I tend to try it alone first then grab any manual that comes with it if I get into trouble. My ego isn't big enough to ignore the need for help with things. Plus I like to read it after to get to know everything about a product. I may be different though. And if your wife is like mine, she doesn't use manual's, she just hands them to me. :) -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55131 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
