Hi Alex, I just have to jump into this post...
I may be a young 'un, but, I'm old school as far as manuals go.
Most of the CDs I've seen are crap, maybe its better than nothing but hard to read when you're sitting on the throne (unless you have a laptop I guess)

Now you all know how I spend my spare time...
At any rate, a good old shop manual beats a CD anytime. Usually the CDs are hard to navigate, you have to print what you want anyhow, so why not photocopy the section you need from a book? Thats what I do.
To each his own I suppose, but, Alex, keep up the good work. It is appreciated by those of us who still have good taste.
It doesn't hurt to support an old guy in retirement neither...
