Yeah - that 7 cents a sheet price is single sided - it nearly doubles when you go double sided. And don't forget the cost of binding the thing. > Has anyone ever paid to print the handbook?

The one near me charges around 9 cents a page for duplex, but more than Kinkos does for binding. I made up a CDRW of all the pdf files, and a printed sheet of instructions for printing & binding, and it worked like a charm. Which is why I just bought a duplexer for my printer. Not that I want to print the handbook, but so blasted much software and hardware is coming with documentation as PDF on CD-ROM that I want printed copies of. Thousands of pages over the last year. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
