Printed manuals were (and still are) fantastic !
Much easier to look at a manual and check something if you're away from a monitor or other display device. As others have already said - The smell is amazing. The newer manuals today are a very poor substitute for a proper manual Especially where they essentially say - check out the PDF or online manual give you a link to it, and have some pretty graphics. Very dissapointing |

Even worse is when the manual for the hardware that came with your brand new machine is not actually among the 15 on the manufacturer's site. And even when you find the manual elsewhere it does not actually have the instructions for turning off the unwanted anti-features, they appear to be completely undocumented :-(
