I believe somebody is working on this.
[back to bread]
the secret is to get good flour, I buy mine from http://www.flourbin.co.uk (we live on the third floor, so it is handy to have someone else carryit up the stairs  ),I can highly recommend the french white and canadian brown flour. We haven't bought bread since we got the machine nearly 2 years ago, it makes excellent pizza dough too |

I've just found a terrific sundried tomatoes and parmesan mix...yummy. 
You've mentioned you're can't do without appliance HuwR but what about the rest? What appliance (PC's not included!!) could you not live without? |

| Top grade bread flour will certainly help make better bread, you can make an average loaf with standard grade flour you get from the supermarket but bakers grade flour will always be far superior. |

There are some manuals I still read, usually when it's the first time that I buy a given type of appliance. If I've bought something before usually the manually is just used as reference, if and when needed.
With software and computer stuff is usually the same. I used to read then when I was younger, less experienced and when the manuals had manageable dimensions. Right now, my patience is lacking more and more, usually a manual is very similar to other manuals for the same type of stuff and the number of pages makes the manual not fit to be read . |

I only use manuals to get the answer to a question I might have when something isn't entirely clear. Like with hooking up the "home cinema set" for my dad a little while ago and I got puzzled about all the connections in the back. Fortunately the cables for the speakers all had labels stuck to them so you couldn't use them for the wrong speakers (the longest cables were for the rear speakers etc. etc.  ) But for my new TV, which I plan on buying early next year, I won't need any manuals. I enjoy playing with the buttons on the remote far too much
As for computer related manuals... they stay in the box. If it's software, I'll use the help files when I can't figure something out.
Oh, I have to confess that my concentration and interest when reading even the slightest technical text are so low that I usually don't even get past the first paragraph and then put the book (or manual or whatever it is) aside. It's always been a problem for me, even in high school. I just can't learn from reading but have to actually do it and learn from my mistakes. |

I always read the manual.. although not always first. I tend to play a little bit - then read the manual and play with the things I just discovered.

| Thought about getting a bread maker - but ... I dunno - too many options - no one can seem to agree on a good one.. (in the UK that is).. |
