That is a great idea and is a great selling point on the manuals CD. On
those you just print out the section you need and take those with you but
when I first started I didn't say that and one guy informed me his computer
was in the house and he was wasn't ABOUT to move it to the garage so a CD
was no use to him. Wayne
