[Test-Equipment] HP 8405A Manual - Schematics -addendum

I agree with Eric.  Except that it's best to get the large stuff scanned to 
TIF, not PDF.  With TIF, you can take the file home and delete 
imperfections like fold lines, stains and tears.  With PDF what you get is what you're 
stuck with forevermore.  Unless you convert the PDF to TIF, fix it, and then 
if you have any reason to, convert it back.  Which is just more work.  When 
(if ever) it comes time to print, the commercial outfits all handle TIF.  I 
don't know about Kinko's.

Note to Tod: I'll answer your msg later tonight.  My wife just had 60+ eBay 
items sell and I'm playing hookie writing this.  :-)
