- A very good idea... and just think how much easier and cheaper it would be
- to upgrade the manuals - just pop open the binder and replace a few pages.
- Upgrades could also be released more frequently... (like the idea that
- modules would be released every couple of weeks to upgrade bits of the OS
- if people wanted to upgrade... not that we've seen more than 4 or 5 modules
- released over as many years... but the concept is good ;-)
