Last week I finally got around to helping a friend setup and test an electronic device -- a turntable that converts vinyl LP's to CD's.
As part of my prep for the big event, a couple of nights beforehand I downloaded and read the manual for the unit on my TouchPad while sitting in the foodcourt of a local mall.
I then didn't give the downloaded manual a second thought until I was at the friend's house. In the course of giving him my overview spiel about the unit, I mentioned that I had crammed for the session a couple of nights earlier on my TP.
As we went through the setup, my buddy was carrying the ball and going through the steps in the paper manual, while I was sitting back and playing the role of the all-knowing consultant.
Inevitably, we hit some bumps in the road and it was kinda tough to work with the paper manual being passed back and forth. (Do I need to say any more? I think we've all been there numerous times. Products just don't come with two copies of the instruction manual.)
Then it hit me... My electronic copy of the manual was sitting in my TouchPad less than six inches from my left hand.
We still had some bumps in finishing the setup and testing, but from that point forward having a second copy of the manual available on the TouchPad smoothed out the process considerably.
