I tend to agree with Dominic, IT manager bods would probably be more 
impressed with a well laid out formatted text (your right PDF would 
be preferable as it is OS independant) with tasteful use of fonts, 
bold colour and text that gets to the point quickly, rather than lots 
of fluff.  I fail to see how plain text could do this.  Its like 
turning up at an interview in denims - or has office / managerial 
culture changed so much?

Anyhow, thats what I was taught - that presentation is important, as
it tells potential employers much about your personality and 
organisational skills - assuming YOU wrote the CV in the first place
not a bespoke CV writing firm!

:)
