Tom,

The user's guide is a great idea. I'd keep it separate from the manual, so
it could be more informal, since I suspect that much of what appears in it
will be anectodal lore from individual users (very valuable nevertheless!).

One plea, though: please don't hold up production at all for the guide to
be finished. Much better to get the units out and then make the guide
available at a later date. Many of us are just *dying* to get our hands on
our 'plexes, the sooner, the better. I've got a group in which two Brother
Sync'd 'plexes are essential to the concept; we need to have two of them
before we can gig.  (Perhaps include a postcard order form in the box with
units that are shipped before the guide is ready. It can also be made
available over the web.)

Thanks a lot!
