Re: Do people want a hard copy of the owners' manual for

I tend to have a lower regard even for software that doesn't come with a printed 
manual.

A friend of mine who runs his own one-person software company which shall remain 
nameless (editing his periodic manual updates for him is the only all-software 
work I do these days) includes a small printed document with each of his 
products.  He once told me that there's a term that describes a software product 
that doesn't have a manual:  "bittorrent download."
