Well its not just the chineese, one of the reasons I traded away my kx3, was
the unusability of its manuals.
The pdf files are a mess.

I hate to say this, but most of the user manuals these days are written = by
chinese workers (and translated to English by same). The attitude I = have
gotten from many a company that does business in china has been =
disappointing. Its like they just don't want to deal with us. The only =
problem for them is this: we are not going away. So, deal with it!

Since a majority of the customers that do business with them are = sighted,
that is who they will cater to. Like I posted elsewhere: we are = a niche or
orphan market. they won't deal with us unless forced to.
