(by about version 9.5, i should have enough previous manuals to make a modest-sized side table. :) Post by Forcemaster2000 // Jun 26, 2007, 11:07am Forcemaster2000 Total Posts: 130 My only complaint about the printed manual is the lack of "color" illustrations in it...I know color would increase cost, but since TS tends to use color to differentiate many functions, it would have helped greatly in many cases.

Did they reprint for 7.5 or is it the 7 manual you are refering to? I'm probably mistaken but I thought they had moved to pdf only for 7.5 (perhaps that was 7.51) As far as colour goes thats why we have a pdf!
