That's because most software houses have taken a page from Micro$oft and
forced the programmers to write the user manuals instead of hiring
professional tech writers to do it right. They are two entirely different
and equally important skill sets and it's a waste of a good programmer's
time to force him/her to write the manual. Of course the tech writer can't
code - but the programmer can't write or keep up with the latest revisions
of the manual.

Shakespeare I can read, history and generally any good non-fiction
books are terrific as well. I absolutely despise reading manuals and
consider them time hogs and more often than not to be horribly, inaccurately
and incompletely written, they'll tell you every last thing you need except
for that one little thing you want to do at the moment and it never fails. I
use the Microsoft knowledge database as a prime example of this. It's like
Dante's inferno in there most of the time.
If pictures say a thousand words send me video sets made up of thousands of
pictures so I don't have to trudge through a laborious quagmire of
half-explanations which makes Hercules 12 labors seem like a nightclub
dance. Thirty seconds of video from Thomas or Brian or Brycetech or
Shoestring Shaders or almost anyone else will teach me more then ten hours
of drudging through all of that gobbledygook. Make short and concise videos
please based upon individual tools or topics, they're time savers and easier
to edit as changes occur. Keep the videos coming please, they are
appreciated here.
Thanks,
Steven

Paper would be a good thing, I for one enjoy reading over a manual while
spending "quality" time with the wife.

The more I see, the more I like..
I'll certainly be in line for it when it appears. My biggest bugbear with
Amapi Designer
that's bundled with Carrara 4 Pro is the lack of a proper manual. Pdf's
are okay, but when
you have only one screen it'd be much more beneficial to have an open book
to flick
backwards and forwards.
I hope we'll be getting a 'real' paper User Guide??
