Chuckle, reminds me of the front cover of the one version covers it all manual 
that came with the Bell Laboratories (no known relation to the telephone bell 
that I was ever aware of) for an audio tape recorder, model RT-7, and which 
stated in about 36 point type:

"Please try our way first"

This was about 1955ish and audio tape recorders were then brand new in the 
audiofile market.
