Cheers,

Thanks, I do not think I am Dyslexic, which I think is a little strong.

I am a little too abrupt and direct at times.


Regards,

Derek

Derek,

I can only profusely apologise! I was certain that you had posted in the past that you were dyslexic.

Again, I'm so sorry for this error.


Cheers,
Norm.

I would not use that word as I can not spell it. I doubt I have word blindness, as I have done a lot of higher education.

So... back.on topic, can software be distributed on the MicroPicoDrive Cartridge to other MicroPicoDrive owners?


Regards,

Derek

Good morning Popopo,

I have to agree that YouTube videos don't act as good user manuals. You can't print it out and refer back and forwards to specific places as you can with text and sometimes you want to be able to do so without access to a computer. This is where a text file or PDF excels.

Having done a (small number) of YouTube videos, I'm guessing that the work involved is far larger than writing the boring documentation anyway. :-)

That's right.
But there are already doc that anyone could print from the original repo.
I was thinking about PDF but due to the variety of users, I focused primarily on videos cause they break up with languages and interpretations barriers.

Edit:What I am going to write in a PDF will be the manual to use the Bluetooth cartridge and the APP that will go with it (for PC/MAC/Phone)
