I keep the manual copy on my work PC. Since I access all our Oracles via telnet from my PC it provides one centralized location that is always available to me while I am at work. This seems like a good backup to online access. I also keep a set on my home PC for use when I VPN into work and since while doing so Internet access is not available to me.
