Re:Not just the tech savvy... (Score 1)

not everybody has the time or ability to learn so many technical things. you think it's someone's duty to learn all the stuff you know, but when you're, say, caring for kids and/or your aging parents, working more than one job, a single parent, poor, etc, etc, you expect a mass-market tool to be easy to use or you won't have the time/energy/inclination to figure it out. nobody expects a drill-press to be easy to use; that's why it's a specialty tool for industry and hobbyists. but computers, tvs, vcrs, cell and programmable cordless phones are advertised as consumer-level tools. many consumers don't read english well, and since many manuals are poorly written or even simply transliterated from other languages, they don't make learning easier. it's nice for you that you have the time, the inclination and the background to figure everything out, but don't assume that everyone who doesn't is stupid or lazy.
