Further praise

I work at teaching sound for theatre and find todays student assumes they
'know how things work' without having to read the manual. They want instant
knowledge without learning and forget that experience teaches understanding
in itself.
Technology moves so fast that us older grumpies might be forgiven for
lagging behind but I find that the instruction book can make very good
reading especially where the black art of handling digital information is
concerned.
Each new product seems to come with a new set of meanings to previously
understood words, invented by those 'boys-in-suits' I realise I have
probably trained over the years.
I try my best to keep up to date but its a struggle.
Thank you to all who contribute such easily understood demystification of
current technologies to this site, keep it coming, it certainly keeps me
entertained.
