Strongly agreed. Having had to deal with various re-writes in the 200 plus
page instructions for the K-3, I know that you still cannot rely on those
programmed marvels completely.
I can proof-read as many times as I like but until it prints out, the darned
thing will pass things that I don't mean. Even the grammar checker is
suspect at times. I had three people proof-reading the instructions and
still they caught things the electronic marvel did not. Eventually they
might work at 100% but right now they don't.
cheers,
