Thanks for the kind comments, guys.....well, everyone except Skids, he kind of scares me. [scared] (just kidding) [big grin] [big grin] [big grin]
It's interesting. I was searching through some old files on the computer this morning, and stumbled across a Word document that contained copies of the original email exchanges I had with Christian O. that started all of this back in September of 2004. I was supposed to be writing a product review for the ATF55E saw, but within a couple of days of getting the saw (10/1/2004) I decided to write a new manual instead.
I didn't even tell Christian that I was working on a manual at first. I kept it to myself for probably about a month before asking him whether he wanted one or not. I wanted to have a partial manual in-hand before I even brought the idea up. The only reason I finally called him was because I needed some technical specifications I couldn't locate on my own. Without even seeing a draft copy of what I had started, he told me he wanted a manual. And that's where it all began. [thumbs up]
