makes sense, it's just intimidating because you open the hood and it resembles a source file with all the whitespace removed.

- lsc 17y agothe thing is, compared to what you see in the computer industry these days (I'm given to understand this wasn't always the case) the manuals for fixing cars are /ridiculously good/ "Does the car start? if so, go to page 45, if not, go to page 2." etc... There's a word for it but I call it "choose your own adventure documentation" - It's quite effective, even an inexperienced mechanic can solve most problems when given the factory service manual. (I'm speaking of the factory service manual here, The much easier to obtain Chilton brand "Book of Lies" is considerably less useful, but still much better than most of what you get with a computer.)
