So for 35 years now we've been putting out our kits with two printed manuals
per kit ... a
"operations and maintenance" and a "construction and assembly" manual. Each
of which costs us about $2 a manual. Not a big deal.

I've got a wild hair that we can put out a digital CDROM set of manuals that
will give COLOR pictures, video "how to", and a lot of other stuff on the
CDROM.

The other person in the company says that you all want print manuals.

Please vote:

1. I want a print (paper) set of manuals with my kit.

2. I want a CDROM with my kit that I can print out myself.

3. I want you to increase the cost of the kit by $5 and include both print
and CDROM with every kit.

Please, no other permutations. Print or CDROM. No other choices.

A PROPERLY DONE CD would be my choice. High quality printable
schematics, and the "printed manuals" in searchable PDF would be a
good start, and if you wanted to, a few "video episodes" to show how
things are done, both for assembly and operation. The "21st century
printing press" has a lot of advantages for this type of
documentation.
