I think the mindset needs to change that we can purchase digital products, do "anything" we want when installing and we will be ok for the life of the software thru any updates.
 
How about touting(trumpets and all) the quick answers Sonar users get here at the forum? It might cut down on the first time poster "what the heck just happened" posts.
 
In my technician days, we called it setting expectations. Mention how technical the program is due the complexities of digital recording, but that help is just a url and a few minutes away....

Back in the days of printed manuals, I recall that there was a statement about complexity on the first page of the Sonar manual for one of the editions. I think it said something about it being serious professional software.

Plaster RTFM and use google everywhere would be more desirable... Most of us are just human search engines...!!!

I'm not sure when they were discontinued. I've still got a Sonar 7 manual dated 2007 and a Dimension Pro manual dated 2005.

Never met anyone with that name, but known a lot with the alias "Plastered." Perhaps a typo.
