I applaud MINLABBOB for his attempt to start a beginner's guide for new users. I have had my 3030 for over a year and have many enjoyable hours using the the machine. I am seventy years old and every time I pick up the machine, after not using it for a while, it is almost like starting with a new machine. I am sure that it is just age but I bet others of a similar age have the same problem. I have watched videos about using the machine and some of them I think are very good but they move so fast that they are difficult to follow. The exchange component is very useful when you have a way to access it but not of any value when out in the field and you want to make changes to the machine. I would like some knowledgeable user to make a laminated card that can be carried in the field that shows how to make some of the program changes. An example would be going from auto to manual. For new users and older people it should be a little more detailed than the manual and easier to follow.
I have read posts where someone does not choose to buy the CTX because of what has been written in the forum about it being complicated. It is an excellent machine and can be used with the set programs. It would just be nice to make a few changes in the field.
