I tend to mark up my manuals with lots of notes (and sometimes, perish the thought, corrections!). What kind of pen do I use to write on the CD-ROM? There isn't much space there, either. Worse yet, I don't have a CD-ROM drive in my laptop. For me CD-ROM would be a fine *addition* to the documentation. But a replacement for the printed manuals?
