Something just occurred to me. The update costs $30. The hardcover
manual (each volume) costs $26.95. I'm paying more for an update than
I paid for the original?!?!? You better come up with a good excuse for
that! Each manual has about 360 nice sheets (720 pages) - about 7.5
cents per sheet (not including the hardcover), the update has 206
xeroxed pages (not sheets) - about 29 cents per sheet. THAT makes NO
sense to me.
