RE: RTFM (was: CPYF behavior)

Local hard drive is the way to go.  I copied the CD in its entirety onto my
ThinkPad, and the thing is actually reasonably quick and I can use it anywhere
I'm working.  I know that's probably not an option with sub-2 GB hard drives,
but 4 and 6 GB drives are cheap these days.

I like paper too, but one thing that improves the performance of the CD
manuals tremendously is copying the whole damned thing to a network (or
local hard drive.)  Ours are in an IFS directory.  I wouldn't call the
performance breathtaking, but it's faster than InfoSeeker or trying to read
from the CD.  'Course there's still Book Manager, fine Win3.1 technology
that it is.
