I think that too this game has one of best manuals that I have seen in any wargame.

Those tutorial manuals teach basics pretty fast and reference manual documents pretty much all features of the game same cannot be said by all mattrix published games.

That's $260 USD, you mean? Wow!

Most of the time these days when I print game docs I use my laser and an especially heavy duty stapler. If I think color is important, then I will individually select the appropriate pages to print on an inkjet and collate them into the material from the laser.

Well, if you want to send me your tips copy, I will autograph it for you free of charge! :)

I had actually wanted Dave to autograph my HTTR manual, but since they didn't ship from Australia, there was no way. However, Dave did send out some charming plaques. And it looked like he and the rest of the crew Australia got somewhat wasted at his house from the photos of the ceremony. :)

US Currency, yes. Autograph, hmmm...i would have to send it overnight, C.O.D. and that would require an extra signature[;)]. My wife didn't say a thing, after all(between you and me) i've spent twice that much at a topless bar[:D]. This will last forever, my memories however slowly fade away over time[:'(].
P.S. Of course "Mark's Tips" is included in the package[:)].

I got old Teknotrik color laser printing machine from a liquidation auction of some company for 100Euros normal price for system would have been 1000-2000 Euros.[8D]

To be true I bought two of these Teknotrik systems and one wax color printing system and sold those two with some profits so this system I got didn’t cost me any. It is sale that is worth of and the fact that those auction people was high costing lawyers that didn’t understand much about technology. [:D]

I have used my color laser to print all my PDF manuals in colors

I once got quote from Kinkos to print some PDF manuals. It made me do it on my own. I print color on my injet on heavy stock, three hole punch and put them in a three ring binder. A 70 to 80 page manual just about shoots a set of ink cartridges, so I and up spending about $75 US per manual to print them myself. [:(]

Yeah that ink cost a fortune and use up very fast. Its only cost effective system for people who only print one page once and for while.

[8|]Just got back from Kinko's: 1st) they called at 10PM last night because somebody wrote "Laminate cover and page 71(wtf!)". So i said good job and yes i want the cover and BACK laminated. 2nd) Today not only did they only print it in black & white they put it in this order Cover/Advanced tutorial/Manual/Getting started/Mark's Tips/Reference.LOL...then they couldn't figure out what to do as i was supposed to pay $261 bucks. The manager asked "are you satisfied?" as he handed me the huge coil bound project and threw my bill in the trash[:)]. Frankly, i would have been happier with what "I" wanted...oh well, the topless bar opens in 22 minutes and i'm real thirsty with a pocket full of cash[:'(].

UPDATE: Decided to stay home and enjoy COTA: "always a wise decision"[:)]
