Manuals for stuff like that aren't supposed to be stimulating. They are just reference materials. So been straight to the point and boring is the aim lol. I remember some manuals for Cisco stuff we were working with at college. It was so blunt it beat your brain into mush. However it go to the point and allowed us to identify problems.

Be glad you got manuals with them, most things you buy these days, you're lucky if you get a folded sheet of instructions and a disc with a PDF!
 
I still remember the manual for AmigaVision, in it's beautiful 3-ring binder that you could lay flat to read. As I recall the A3000 came with a nice manual, as well. Ah, the good old days!

Yup I agree. My latest pc motherboard came with a 5 page quickstart and then the manual was on a PDF on the driver disk. So unless you had another computer, which thankfully I did, you were stuffed if any problems popped up.
 
I do miss manuals that had useful information, detailed tips with pictures and proper technical specs.
