   Cant agree,
lotta reference stuff can be looked up and printed from right of

   Right up till the day the host goes down or decides the manuals
 to their 1985 models are no longer necessary.
   A good example is my IBM XStation 150.  When I first got it, you could
 search IBM support and get full setup instructions and jumper layouts.
   About a year ago, IBM pulled all html pages concerning the 150 and
 stashed the docs on a very obscure ftp server. 
  At least they did *that*.  Most companies just delete it all.
