This is probably a bit of a rant than anything.
I bought a new radio transceiver yesterday and was reading through the 135 page manual.
It seems that this radio has something like 100 menus in it, but very few buttons and knobs on the front.
Of the 100 menus, there are also sub-menus for different settings.
To get into the menus, you have to press some button and then scroll with one of the knobs, until you find what you are looking for, press a wrong button and you are back to where you started, isn't convenience nice?
But, isn't this the way that all electronics gear is heading?
Everything is getting smaller and therefore the buttons (and the writing above them buttons) are also getting smaller as well.
Don't get me started on remote controls, I still haven't totally learned to fly the TV set I bought about 9 months ago, but hey, I can get the NEWS on it and that is all I care about!
