True, except for the "insidious" part;  the Turbo manual has always been
referred to as the "copy protected" part of this package in the trade
press.  However, most copy shops will (1) slice off the spine of the manual
and (2) three-hole punch it to fit into the binder of your choice.

Where do you get the binder?  Well, what else do you do with your "Guide
To Operations" manual, anyway....
