- Talking of Acorn Manuals, I hope that they will abandon the strange paper
- format they use at present and move to A4 pages in loose leaf folders like
- the Sun manuals. Its so much easier to read and update then. I dread to
- think how much bookshelf space the new RO3 PRMs are going to take.
-
- Large paper with well spread out text is so much easier to read, please,
- please rethink the manual strategy? A looseleaf folder in white with
- a single Acorn on the front would look rather neat and be more durable
- than the present format.
