Come on, I'm not *that* anal! ;)

Besides, it's spiral bound at the top, and you flip over a new page for 
each month. The typo is on the outside cover, so once I get it up on 
the wall, it will be hidden :)  I am controlling myself and *will not* 
send them an email about their error (just what they need -- a 
redlined copy from an AR customer). 

I've also had to quell the urge to write a new manual for a Canon 
Powershot I bought a few weeks ago. It is *horrible*. Every feature 
is similar to "AF -- This is the automatic focus. Turn it Off or On."  
But there's no info that tells you *why* you want to turn AF off/on, or  
use ISO Hi instead of ISO auto or ISO XXX, or how to pick colors 
for that artsy colorswap mode... It is in need of a very good user's 
manual that gives you a little theory behind the "duh" info in the 
existing manual. 

I think this is a sickness. I wonder if it can be controlled with meds...
