While we're on the subject, I'll throw
in my gripe. Why can't we copy
old computer manuals? Most of the computers and software are worthless
with the manuals. HP and the other companies gave up all
sales/support/service of these things years ago, why should they care if
we copy manuals that they don't sell any more?
They care because they can keep a xerox copy of those manuals around to sell
to us for the unholy figure of $35-$50 if someone ever actually asks them
for one. (Not naming names, but one company that does this rhymes with
Sandy.)

At least "sandy" will sell you one. Try to get one from HP. I had to
argue with them to try and convince them that they ever built a 9825. The
people on their parts ordering line know absoulutely nothing about their
company's products. If they do have one, try to get it for $35-$50! More
likely $180!
