Thanks for bringing this up. I've been wondering some of
the same things myself. Also, we have Suns here. For the
current equipment, most of the documentation is shipped
only in CD-ROM form. This is a problem (to put it mildly)
if the system crashes, which is when you really need some
of the documentation. I was able to resolve a problem last
week only because we have one old machine and the hardcopy
documentation shipped with it, and the operating system
hadn't changed much.
