That's all I'm hoping for.

HA!  I've been wondering what the Finns have been up to!

Well, it just happens that I am pretty good at figuring out gear 
without a manual.  Years of working in music stores that sold used gear 
have given me an uncanny ability to figure out obtuse gear.  Just to be 
on the safe side, I'll hire a German a Finn and a Japanese person to be 
near while I'm going through the manual, just in case.  Here's the key 
to all gear though:

Keep pressing buttons until it does what you want it to do.  DON'T LET 
IT WIN.

Thank you for the advise,
