As I've said before manufactures should be making DVD's of the operation of these instruments. The BK9 does so much its impossible to cover it adequately in a manuel. Nothing like looking over someones shoulder and watching an expert preform the functions your interested in.
I was a computer teacher in a Middle School and I couldn't imagine having the kids read about how to do something new or even telling them how to do it. ( Kids attentions spans are very short these days, as is mine ) I would lock all the computers onto my computer screen and demo whatever I wanted them to do.
Done !! They would pick it up immediately.
Too bad there isn't someone nearby to help out in person. Theres things I've been wanting to explore using SMFs but haven't been able to find any help either so I've dropped the idea.
