on the other side of the coin....

I love having computer versions.
paper sucks.
I can make a bazillion copies, and
why do I need to print them anyway?
I just need the data when I need it.

As a matter of fact, they include a
utility to print a single page at a time
if you really need to show a print to
someone. I never used it, because if
I ever need to show anything I
just use snagit (or any other decent
screen capture utility) to print it.

paper is temporary, data is forever.

just another opinion...

p.s. I would recommend IPC-2221, 2222
and the land pattern standard. That will
keep you busy enough for awhile.

Here's a free copy of the next 2221, go here
and click the "drafts" link:

Get it quick, they don't stay there forever...

Bill,

Thanks for your help! I will proceed with paper copies as you recommended.
