Read the Fine Print

Things that have fine print usually/may have stuff you need to know.  Most people don't read the fine print because it's too hard to read. Some manufacturers/programers hope you won't read the fine print. I suspect that's why it's written in fine print. Sometimes the print is so small you can't read it without a high powered magnifying glass.

Popular Drugs have a lot of fine print. Mostly about the side affects. On TV they tell you about the side affects, but apparently people don't listen to the 'fine print' either.
The fine print with the things they have to tell you about.

A lot of software has fine print as well. Usually it's a disclaimer telling you they are not repsonsible if their software trashes your computer. Makes you wonder if it has trashed someone's computer.

One thing that really gets to me is all of the warnings that are printed in fine print on a lot of consumer products.
Some of those warnings.  Apparently the reason for some of these 'fine prints' are because some idiot did just what the warning says not to do. The manufacturers have to protect themselves from lawsuits by stupid people.

So be sure to read the fine print! I try but I don't always have the magnifying glass handy.
