    I agree with you to an extent. I had almost all of my manuals downloaded. Long story short, I took part in the MS Vista Beta trials and in the conversion at the end of the trial (which, for me personally was a disaster) much of my existing data was lost. Clearly I should have backed them up on an external media but didn't. Anyway that was my catalyst to do these binders.

    And as Hank pointed out, the laptop can be inconvenient at many times. Not to mention how dirty it would get, at least I would get mine filthy.
    The MS Vista Beta trials? So you have a new computer then?

    I have a friend who had his network down for rearranging, and his main system hadn't been backed up in two weeks. Then he had a hard drive crash. It is always the worst time.

      I forgot to mention that I went back to XP

        Wood magazine had a simple jig in one of their first magazines.

        I think they have a searchable online index.

          Have you seen these?

          Picture isn't great. The product is a thin plastic strip with 3 holes for the binder and a slot into which you insert the magazine after opening it to the center page. No holes to drill and it works pretty well.

            I personally have the thick manuals (BT3100) stacked up, and the smaller ones in a folder on top of those. I find that once I read them once or twice I really don't need to refer to them often (if ever).

Old habits are as hard to get rid of as age spots.
              Under a car?!!?

              Copy that. Understood. I misunderstood this conversation completely.

              As you were.
