How about saving some trees, and making the manuals available on CD-ROM?
Note that CD-ROMs cost $1 each in quantity, whereas the paper versions
probably cost $10. IBM would even save money!

Kudos to Microsoft for their Programmer's Library CD-ROM. Truly a nice
product, it replaces maybe 50 lbs of paper.
