When I first installed FBSD for the first time (4.5-$) I printed the entire Handbook (600+ pages) on a DocCenter 430. After taking home the 6" stack of paper, it dawned on me that I could of printed double sided :o) I also have TONS of docs, howto's and man pages printed and lying around everywhere. Online docs are great, but I still like reading paper better. I just wanted to let everyone know that the 1-1/4" FBSD handbook is a very attractive addition to an existing document set, or the perfect start to a new one. Steve
