... but for some stuff, the original manual is a nifty touch that adds to the "it's a collectible" feeling, and in some cases are more complete and usable than the PDF (seeing as how I don't own a large-format printer to generate an 11 X 17 copy, or larger with some schematics). Don't get me started on the scans that were obviously done on a home flatbed scanner and then clumsily pasted together.
I prefer to use a paper version when I'm working, but the searchable pdf is obviously better for doing background, extracting info or focusing on one section ("enhance!"), research, etc
