Years ago, a member at the AACA Packard DF (who shall remain nameless) generously offered STBs reprinted, on demand, for a reasonable price, but suffered enough abuse at the hands of just enough people that he withdrew the offer completely. I would have done the same.

It's better that information is now available for viewing and downloading for free, here, at P'Info. Yet, I know the pain of downloading large files over a dial-up connection.

Now, I don't like reading on-screen as well as from paper, either, but I print just those pages that I need as working copy and only when I need them. The new car industry has gone paperless, too - pushing cost of printing onto the dealers. I don't believe you can even get a paper factory manual for late-model GM anymore - only on CD and VERY expensive. Of course, it isn't very practical or economical to print entire manuals and books, yourself.

So, BigKev's offer of a the currently available literature in PDF on a DVD sounds like a good idea. Perhaps he should post that as a permanent offer on the home page, like the T-shirts, with payment via PayPal.

With a computer out in his garage, now, I can see why Packard53 wants one of those DVDs!
