Unfortunately, it's also written for the type of people who don't read manuals, and those people don't read online help systems, either. Whether it's online or printed, they still ignore it, preferring to ask the nearest computer geek--a person who, until recently, read the manual. Interestingly enough, he doesn't read online help either, because the 1991 online help is written for people who don't read manuals, and answers questions that manual readers don't need help with. So, to recap: the online help is written for people who don't read manuals, and the people who read manuals don't read the online help because the kind of questions they need answered aren't covered by the online help, because it's written for the people who don't read manuals, which are the same people who are busy not reading the online help, opting instead to ask the manual readers, who don't know the answers, because there's no fucking manual. |

| At a profit. Now mama people like me, who play disc golf and (used to) use the term RTFM, end up paying extra for manuals written by someone who reverse engineered the software mama rather than getting a free one written by someone who helped write the software. Oh, when you buy the software, you'll certainly get a glossy little pamphlet that may claim to be a manual (with a title like a "guide to the features of..."). I got one of those too. It's 20 pages, and has cute pictures. What it doesn't have, is any sort of explanation mama of features that aren't obviously labeled in the user interface to begin with. I've got five more just like them. These are marketing materials, not manuals. This is a manual. (The man pages on my FreeBSD box are about 25 megs.) The argument could be made that not printing costly manuals saves money in the software development life cycle. Unfortunately, a much stronger argument can be made that each successive version of Windows cost roughly a hundred dollars more than the one before it, and you had to buy Mac OS X twice: once for the beta, then again when it was actually released. |
