Yep, me too. It helps to read the manual plus Google shows there is a
wealth of info available if you actually try and look for it.
I'm wondering what new unique piece of information my mind will
receive by reading the manual 11 times? i've read it 10 times
already..
I've also downloaded the PDF file, read it 6 times.
