When I, Jean 1, get ANYTHING new, I pull out the product, look at it and then proceed to open the bonus item that comes with it. Everything I buy has this bonus and I have amassed quite a collection of them. I do not display them, nor do I tout them out to brag about when I have visitors, but I keep them safe and put away in a nice, dark spot. It's not beanie babies, although I hear they are quite a collector's item. Nope, not Hummels, not my style. It's a neat little book with lots of words in it. Kind of like a baseball card, with stats and pictures and so forth. It's called a "User's Manual". Yep! I love them. Why? Because it was printed just for me, the User. I love the way it tells me precisely how to turn off and on the item. How to work the different features, what to do if there is a problem, and who to call if any of that does not work. ( Jean2's number has NEVER been listed in there.) It's amazing, it's a wealth of knowledge and invaluable. When I got my new van, I stayed up till 2 am riveted by all the features and even discovered, due to illustrations, that one of the features that was listed as "included" in my vehicle was missing....Got that fixed right away. When I got my new camera, digital, I read the manual four times, and even keep it close by to read a "how to" every once in awhile to do something new. When I got my mp3 player...Manual was read cover to cover. It's like they (the makers of the item) wanted me to know how to use their product. Almost as if they could picture me, opening the product and actually wanting to know what to do next. Incredible...The foresight...The vision. Sad how some people (you know who you are) just toss the "user's guide" and wing it. Like they are spitting in the face of "Joe user manual writer". How could you be so cruel! Give him a chance....Read his work....It's not Debbie Macomber by any means, but it's worth the effort.
