I get a fair number of requests for things like this here at the library. Heck, I recently bought a video camera and it didn't even come with a manual. Instead it came with a slip of paper telling you how to download the manual from the net or, and this was kind of novel, get it off the camera itself. Turns out, they simply stored the manual in the camera's memory.
Hey, no trees died in the making of that manual. Delete the scoop?
