I agree, but not with such passion. Of course, everybody in my group other than myself likes to print their favorite manuals on the local laser printer. I really don't know why. I prefer reading PDF manuals on my Kindle DX ebook reader. The only "problem" is that the PDF reader on it is junk so far as hyperlinks are concerned. But for sequential reading, it is wonderful for me. I can easily hold it in my arthritic hands.
