Hey if you can still read a manual on a CD in 40 years, Ill be shocked.

Larry:

 

This is much better than an old camera (make unknown) that was on ebay a while back - the owner had used scotch tape to adhere numerous instructions clipped out of the manual onto the back & all over for reference. Looked like a teenager's bedroom plastered with posters.

 

Kind of like taping copies from your car manual all over your windshield or dashboard -

 

Amazingly the copies/pages were still intact & all I can assume is that he rarely used it due to the overwhelming data he had taped on to it prevented simple use perhaps.

The last posting reminds me of the "Alpa pyjama version", a version of the swiss made (extremly well built and extremly expensive) Alpa SLR factory-covered with a sleeve of cardboard giving instructions on how to use the buttons and dials on this all-mechanical SLR.

The old polaroid roll-cameras also had a huge instruction sheet mounted onto a folded cardboard insert on the door you retreived the film out of.
