Mark I just want to confirm, that as a SmartNet customer, I was able to order these docs without any charge.

[7:49444] I am the same way about having hard-copy to read from... I can't tell you how many trees I've killed with printing docs out from the PDFs off of CCO, and then tossed the print outs several months later because of too much "loose" stuff on my desk. I also spent 60.00 on the 6.1 PIX Docs from EBay, just to find out several months later that the docs were available to me for free (thanks to a post on this list many months back pointing out the "secret hiding place" on CCO). Indeed, you hit the nail on the head as to why I ordered all the Docs I did: To have the resources to support just about anything I or my engineers may come across. But nothing replaces a properly placed TAC call. All of these Docs are in manual format with soft-cover though, so it's not like we have a huge library of Cisco Press-style books to reference. I still have pay for the hard-cover. Also, as someone else mentioned in an earlier reply, depending on your SmartNet, you too are probably able to order the same DOCs for free. Like you said, nothing beats paper in some cases. :) -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Larus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 8:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cisco IOS Docs Hardcopy? [7:49444] I believe it costs a fortune (over $1000) for us mere customers/end users. I imagine Cisco thinks you resellers need to have it to support your customers, so they don't have to do as much of the support. I love my 12.1 printed docs, which I paid $400 plus shipping (around 43 dollars, I think) on ebay. My impression is that most people in this industry have no problem using the CD documentation and reading just about everything from a screen. I feel like some sort of relic because I strongly favor reading from paper. ""Mark W.
