I think your forgetting something! SpInside Mac is about 16-18 MEGS the
last time I checked! Now take a stuffit file that big and _binhex_ it,
jeez, your going to be downloading for a long, long, long time. I do
agree in principle but its so impractical. Maybe Apple could release
the monster through APDA and 800K disks for people without a CD drive
(like me).

In any case, SpInside Mac isn't the end-all solution to our docmentation
problems. Inside Mac needs to be completely written, condensed,
reorganized, and re-published on paper. A HC version would be nice too but
it can't replace paper because I like leaving my manuals open during
a crash without using more than one computer..
