I've got a couple other manual pages printed out, but on the whole, I prefer to keep it online. Since its birth, I've only printed out the Handbook once. As I said, others will have different opinions and I won't argue against them. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
