I agree,
As long as there are assembly manuals, a printed manual is mandatory.
Try assembling any project from a computer screen and you will quickly
realize the value of printed manuals - you can make marginal notes, you
can put in actual check marks as you complete a step on the instructions.
Yes, the ,pdf versions of manuals have come a long way, and you can now
add comments and notes in the Adobe Reader but still a printed manual is
desirable for initial construction.
In cases where printed manuals are desirable, errata sheets are
necessary. If you will be receiving an Elecraft product anytime soon,
please look at the Errata sheet as a first order of business (after
unpacking your new prize). Enter the required changes in the manual and
then begin your building (or operating) experience.
We are not yet a "paperless" society, and for those projects that
require some physical construction, I believe the paper should never go
away - it is essential.
