just not the men's room of a bar.
Okay, to justify adding to the joke thread, here is some content I haven't seen on this thread:
In addition to the convenience of reading manuals "offline," printed copies have the advantage that you can write on them and fix bugs in the manual and add usage notes. I suppose you can do that as well with the right version of adobe, and we're saving a bunch of trees. So I'm sort of on board with Oracle maintaining the stuff on line and doing the print what you really need stuff for yourself. (although I miss the reverie of merging rev pages into a rack of loose leaf manuals, I guess being able to search and google on line is adequate compensation. Oracle was glue perf anyway.)
So a third party quick reference style book up to maybe an inch and a half thick sectioned up nicely would be pretty cool, especially if the editors applied good guessing to leaving some white space to scratch in additions to syntax and (horrors) documentation bug fixes.

What the men's room, or the bar?

I like books as well. For one thing they don't stop working when the =

I would like it... I'm book oriented. I printed and bound a number of =

the 8i manuals for reference. I find using 'help' you keep having to =

scroll up and down. I don't want to do and crud up the window while I'm =

actually trying to do something. A little reference book would suit me.
