Print it out are you mad!

Nope i will just read it on screen or Alt-Tab to desktop whenever i need to read it when in SH3. Thats when i get the game to run, im having trouble running SH3 after a fresh install on a reformatted drive. GWX 2 is not far away, and im showing signs of extreme anxiety syndrome cause THE BLARDY GAME CRASHES TO DESKTOP !!!!

Vista (SH3 ran fine on Vista last time installed)
Patched to 1.4b
Vista Starforce Patch update
Intel 3200, 2gigsram, 7800gtx update drivers
Fresh install on a formatted hdd.
Game loads CTD during intro loading....

Why Why, why....

Help!

Well, it depends on your Printer speed. With 600+ pages in the current edition:
Six pages per minute: ~100 minutes, not counting loading the document into the printer's memory

Nine pages per minute: just over 60 minutes, not counting loading the document into the printer's memory.

Pablo
And 600 sheets of paper or 300 if you print both sides... but it takes a lot more time load the documents.


NO print !! perhaps could be better a laptop with the pdf loaded :hmm:

I am taking the manual to Kinko tomorrow and have them print it in black and white and bind it.I am one for reading it when I want, not sitting in front of my computer.

Cheers,
JeffG

To read it when...
1. The wife is using it to find a receipe...
2. The kids are on it updating their "my space" site(s) or chatting with friends...
3. The hard drive crashed or the file gets corrupted...
4. The wife's cat won't get off the keyboard, and if you yell at it one more time, the wife will throw you out...

Think of all the poor trees you have to cut down for that massive document lol, I just don't want to spend $25 worth of ink and paper to do it. Besides, I love pressing ctrl+f to find things on Adobe documents...

Don't forget to plant a few trees in yer back garden to make up for the ones your gonna have to chop down for 600 pages.
Changes could occur on almost a weekly basis.
If you want to store it, far better on a disc

Maybe not, as I don't have enough paper. I'd rather save it to disk (or on a pendrive), so I can read it when I need to.
