Oh yes, especially the ones that would say, "Insert the six paragraphs 
below between the third and fourth lines of page 23."  :-)

I used to despise HP when they would send updates that consisted of 
instructions to modify existing manual pages instead of sending replacement 
pages.  I recall one update, maybe for the HP 64000 logic station mainframe 
service manual, that instructed me to change a dozen or so schematics -- 
simple things, like "replace feedback resistor R23 with the active filter 
circuit shown below."  That one got stuck in the front of the outdated 
manual, as I just couldn't bring myself to butcher the pages as they 
required....

When it came to manual updates, the Logic Systems Division was aptly named.
