Then we can ask the deeper question: is there an objective value in
printing these things out, as opposed to having them available
onscreen?
I'm not saying the answer is "No," but some of us old guys
(like me) are operating on momentum from the past way of doing things. A
student of mine (now a philosopher in his late 30s) says he never prints
out anything.
In regard to sites that give instructions, I highly recommend having at
least two monitors (I have three) so you can read the instructions on one
while you implement them on another. It's amazing the time and
frustration that saves.
Meaning no disrespect.
Thanks, Carl.
I just wanted to note that I often rely upon good step-by-step
instructions in the tech sphere, and I would usually much rather print
that out as a hardcopy reference, as opposed to having to have a running
computer close by. That reference value greatly benefits from
illustrations and color coding. While I can appreciate the
proprietary nature of many web-published materials, such a reference is
for personal use only. If it can't readily be saved or printed, it
raises the question of whether the purveyors of said material truly
wished it to be able to help anyone.

Kari's right. I misleadingly called it an "add-on" in my
earlier
response. To "install" CleanPrint, you simply drag an icon to
your
browser's bookmarks toolbar. To print a web page, you click on the
"bookmark". The processing is done at the FormatDynamics.com
site and
the result is pushed back to your browser. This may raise
privacy/confidentiality concerns for some material, but the end
product is nifty.
