Re: [libreoffice-users] CNET is claiming the best free MSO alternative is not LO

       ah, yes, a good book ... a readable manual ... ... ...

       I've tried at various times to read these supposed helpful manuals
only to discover more confusion ... it's like reading a foreign language
yet there's no dictionary to use for help;
           and if they happen to have sketches ... well, these tend not to
correspond with the written document.

       Automobiles, since becoming computerized, supposedly have these
helpful manuals - but reading them for something as simple as changing the
clock [an inane idea anyway] is next to impossible ... the trained
mechanics even have trouble with this one - it took 3 of them about 1/2
hour to finally figure out that one vehicle's settings were tied into the
radio dials but only if the engine was running and the gear was in park  ;-)
