Printed books - was Re: [Gllug] MYSQL -

[Andy Farnsworth]

It depends on what I am using the manual for.  If it is for reference on
something I already know, I prefer the online version because search is so
useful.  However, if it is to learn a new topic, I prefer a real book as I
tend to read where ever and when ever I have a chance.

me, and a couple of friends have found reading a books online* is
faster, the only disadvantage is that some books are not there yet, or
missing illustrations** that you need to buy the printed version. so I
guess its 50 50 for me!.
