[Elecraft] Pretty-printed manuals

"It is also appalling (but no longer surprising to me) that there are so
many hams out there who are relegating themselves to the early 20th
century. The Elecraft design line is very modern and designed to take
advantage of, but not be dependent upon, the ubiquitous presence of
computers."

Unfortunately, technology can be a curse, as well as blessing.

I have many job files, 10 to 15 years, old which are no longer readable by
modern software.
Supposed "translation utilities" are sometimes helpful, but more
typically are ineffective.
Yet, the paper files for the same work are still perfectly readable.

I suppose that someday those paper files will fall apart--but probably after
I do.

For now, I'll keep my paper manuals, each with its notes and portability.
Oh, the
.PDF of the most current manual will reside on my computer or flash drive as
an
*additional *resource.
