Adding a 3 ring binder requires a >PERSON to pick up each manual and place it in the binder. If you want them uh oh, you mean they actually have to TOUCH them???? ooooooohhhhh..... that's bs, my ms-dos 3.11 manual came with all the paper with holes punched already wrapped in plastic and stored inside the binder, inside the box. all ya hadda do was take off the plastic and put the manual in the rings. I also preferred their old method of rings. the rings were attached to the back cover and the side of the rings facing the spine were straight which made using it and putting it away MUCH easier. Now they use those dumb plastic type binder things like you see on just about every old better homes and gardens cookbook. if you thought the "perfect" binding was bad, you can't even open these damn manuals. -- John Knutson {ihnp4,allegra,ut-sally}!ut-ngp!auscso!johnk Spies report that sea mines actually ARE an Iranian delicacy. The Pentagon however maintains that they are some sort of fast food. Communicating, like in the good ol' days.
