Print your own???

So you think I can print a single copy from a CD cheaper than the maker of
the widget can print 100's?

That's not quite the point.

The most common reason stated for not providing a comprehensive manual is
that too many of the customers are not utilizing the manuals. Therefore,
according to the argument, the customers are unwilling to bear the
cost--instead they will purchase a competing product which does not include
that cost; or may simply do without the product.

Therefore, the printable manual is an acceptable compromise for those
customers who demand a printed manual. (Personally, I don't like the result
as well as a bound manual; but it is a usefull compromise most of the time.)
