Summary: I tried AutoPC, it was mind-numbingly confusing even in optimal conditions on the show floor.
I don't think it'll fly. The rep I talked to admitted most people are curious but find it too expensive, but didn't know the price (I think this was the business owner's girlfriend there on a lark).
Incidentally, if anyone has a specific make of car they'd like a report on, drop me an email - I'm almost certainly returning later in the week because I want to see the new S-Class Mercedes (which wasn't there yesterday but apparently arrived today).
I downloaded it a few days ago. It looks neat. It looks like it can do cool things. But it's completely inaccessible to the graphics novice.
I can understand that they want to raise money by selling the manual, but I'd love to see just enough of the docs so I know I can actually use the program to do something before springing for $60-odd.
Any recommendations? The tutorials I saw seemed a little too specific; what I need is some kind of overview of the program.
Understand that I'm not opposed to giving the developers money, but I want to make sure I actually can use the program first.
