Subject:RE: The demise of the printed manual? From:Michael Davidson <Michael -dot- Davidson -at- vcint -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 12 Apr 2001 10:28:44 +0200
This works fine if you can plug into the computer. But I don't see many
trains, buses, toilets etc supplying the means necessary to access the
online documents when you're not using a computer. This of course makes them
useless and, in my book (available in hard and soft copy!), is doing the
customer a disservice.
However I do support the idea of not chopping down trees as much as
possible.
My company is thinking of cutting down on costs by stopping the
production
of printed manuals.
