I'm glad you're not in charge, then.:) Some (many?) of us only have cheap, slow home inkjet printers that use very expensive ink cartridges and it would take a long time and be prohibitively expensive to print off a manual. And I don't want to turn on a computer every time I want to look up something in the manual.
Perhaps in the cities there are places that will print a PDF at reasonable cost, but I have never come across a service that will do that here in the UK. Perhaps the answer would be to make the printed manual an extra cost option. Then those who don't want it don't have to pay for it and those who care about having the latest version could order up a new one whenever they want. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
