PDF Documentation

[Art Campbell]

I think it depends on whether it's task-oriented info or reference, and also
on what the product is.

If it's software, and it's task-oriented, I usually keep it on-screen while
I'm doing something.
If it's conceptual or reference doc, I'm more likely to print it.

If it's hardware based, like how to install something -- either computer or,
say, room lights, I'd expect it to be printed.
