That's why I like them as PDF's I can search/look at online or print and
put in a binder!!!!

:Subject: Unfriendly User Manuals
:
:
:Arrgh!  Just had another company do this to me.
:
:ICS (the FormSprint people) sent the latest copy of their user
:manual. Instead of loose leaf pages in a 3-ring binder, it's
:now a paperback book.  It no longer stays open on _any_ page,
:let alone a specific page.  Therefore I have to hold it open
:with 1 hand when in use. Furthermore, the spine won't stand up
:to much use, period.
:
:When I called to register a complaint, I was told it's a cost
:cutting measure.  I said I understand the 'why', but why
:couldn't you have just sent me new loose leaf pages?  I would
:insert them and it would be even less cost for them.  Their
:reply was that most customers won't take the time to do that.
:My response _should_ have been that if a customer won't keep
:the manual up-to-date, that customer isn't using the manual to
:begin with.
:
:They seemed genuinely surprised that I was irritated with
:this.  Am I the only one who actually uses manuals as a guide
:from time to time and wants them to stay open on the page I want?
