if a question pops into the mind about GWX, regarding say... "how do the bold decoys work in real life?"...all one must do is click the little binocular symbol in adobe and type "bold"
and like that, every mention of the word "bold" within the GWX manual is available to you instantly.
in 5 - 10 seconds of my own typing and reading i was able to determine the following things i, as a GWX user may not have known
1. Bold is short for "Kobold" a small goblin of german folklor
2. it was a container filled with calcium hydride which reacts with seawater
3. this reaction creates a mass of bubbles that reflects active sonar pings to fool ASDIC into thinking it is detecting a submarine.
it works this way with every topic and almost anything can be answered with a simple 5 second search of a single word.

That wins the "Tip of the Day" Award  
I burnt the manual to cd and took it to Kinko's and had them print it for me with the covers laminated and punched out for 3 ring binder for $35.00. Cheap price I think and a better job than I could have done at home.
At bedtime I trade off rereading it and Iron Coffins. |
Was that in colour ? :hmm:
