    I am sure I am not the first person to find that the first book (Visual Studio .NET walkthroughs) you find as you unwrap your copy of Visual Studio Enterprise Architect Edition that you shelled all that cash out for (only 1700 quid from Amazon) looks as though it is printed on the same low-grade paper that is installed in the dunny at work for wiping your butt on.... nice one microsoft.. No expense spared! ;) "I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered" George Best.

              If I remember correctly, there are a HUGE number of pagers per manual. Thus they use very thin paper. Not really a good thing. But it does cut down on size. :( Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it... If our basic tool, the language in which we design and code our programs, is also complicated, the language itself becomes part of the problem rather that part of the solution."
