I again agree with your points. However, I always work with at least two, sometimes four computers in front of me. As everything is networked, I usually run the "on line" help of something in one computer while working with the program itself in the other computer. Granted this is an orthodox method, I wonder how many people do that (work with two computers). I just wish I could cut and paste from different computers! <g> My office is always littered with books spread all over the floor behind and around my chair (on top of monitors, behind the keyboard, a mess) as I keep puling books off the shelves and just throwing them back as I'm working. Had I had all this online, my life would be a lot easier. As I have repeatedly said, I still think hard copy documents are necessary. Specially for heavy duty stuff like 3D Studio. Like someone else has said, you can't (easily) bring your computer in bed at night (or some other private places you have to go every now and then). Another aspect of online reading people seem not to like is that the text is small. This is true for the "standard" (WordPerfect is the world) type user. How many of the 3DS users use 14" monitors? I agree that reading anything longer than a couple of phrases in a cheap 14" monitor is a pain in the neck (or in the eye for that matter). Judy, I'm not coming at you. It's just that your comments made me think about other aspects I hadn't before.
