Good topic, Donny. Were talking about "necessary evil", in my world. Daily, I have to use still cameras, motion equipment, computer programming for research, publishing, film editing, monitors, phones, notebooks, all kinds of musical keyboards; even the amplifiers Some with a 100 page book and a requirement for downloads, etc.

If I read every instruction sheet and became competent on every piece of equipment I have to use, I'd NEVER get any work done. there's no end in site.

I have to be satisfied to JUST learn what I have to know to get my work done and leave everything else to a technician who is involved in production but not the creative side.


That leaves me vulnerable and dependent on others.


I don't like that.
