Not all change
is automatically bad.
3 am I want to check a datasheet ... it is 30 seconds including the time
Less than that for me. I keep a spare copy of the TTL databook by my bed :-)
I take to turn on the light switch.
I need to use windows and the internet it is about 20 minutes later
I may have the information.
Or in my case it's 'Wait until morning, hop on an omnibus, go to an
internet cafe, hopefully find the data sheet I need'.
When I am designing I typically want many data sheets open at the same
time. Unless I covered every wall in my workshop with LCD monitors (and
have expensive accidents when something flies apart or a capacitor
explodes on whatever I am working on), I would have to print out every
data sheet I need. Which totally negates both the environmental and cost
'beneifts' of having them on-line.
