Are you tired of getting small or large appliances for Christmas
and birthdays and not being able to read the instruction manual
that comes with it? Do you find that even with an arcing stone that
some charts in these manuals are very difficult to scan and
understand? If so well we're working on a solution. That's right
Greg & Peggy Mason are putting together instruction manuals on disk
or in Large Print. Now you can use that $400 coffee warmer,
otherwise known as a Microwave oven for fixing full meals. Imagine
no more ruining an appliance because you don't know how to care for
it. If its listed in the manual not for use in microwave or not
dishwasher safe now you'll know. If your interested why not send us
your booklet and lets get this thing started. Prices for these
manuals haven't been set yet but for each person who sends us a
booklet that we don't already have we'll take a dollar off the
price of any manuals you might order. Prices will vary according to
the length of each manual. If this is something you might be
interested in then leave a message on this board or send your
instruction manual to: Greg and Peggy Mason, 7836 Center Parkway
#62, Sacramento, Ca. 95823 or you can give us a call at (916)
424-4197. Who knows after ordering the manual on disk you may
decide that there's an appliance out there that you just can't live
without.

All too often I get manuals etc. that I can't read for one
reason or another. I wholeheartedly agree that something can
and should be done about it.
Just recently I purchased a wonderful piece of software and was
anxious to krank up my Arkenstone and "do" the 300 page manual
that came with it.
SNAG!!! No matter what I did, I couldn't get my trusted friend
to give me a decent scan ! "Poorly printed, or deliberately
desguized that way?" I disappointedly wondered. But the scan
was enough to at least give me an idea of what was going on.
I think what you propose is a great thing. Hope you don't run
into flack from manufacturers etc. who closely guard their
documentation. I also hope your service is reasonable, as I
feel it is rather unfair for anyone to have to pay for
documentation that they have already paid for as part of the
purchase price of the product.
Happy holidays.
