Eh - LCDs definately have their advantages over CRTs too. For example : it's been a _long_ time since I saw a CRT type monitor that had portrait orientation. (As I recall it was part of an expensive Wang word processing hardware suite, not even a general purpose computer.) Whereas my LCD I can swivel 90 degrees, giving a choice of landscape (for gaming) and portrait (for editing source code, working on documents, browsing the web). I do also have a CRT hooked up next to the LCD, but when it dies I'll probably get another LCD.

I'm note sure I understand what you mean here, do you mean "flipping" the monitor on its side so that it will be like a paper page?
If you do, I don't see how that would help me. Its just as easy reading "normally", especially if you are reading from a website (rather than a document), since the website interface usually takes up horizontal space.
And you could flip a CRT monitor on its side, it will be pretty crude, but you can put it on its side, and flipping the display is very simple (just get the latest Nvidia drivers).

And as for paper manual VS electronic manual;
Both options aren't very good, you can't read the electronic manual while playing the game, and you can't easily search through a paper manual (what would I do without CTRL+F?!), and you also can't read the electronic one while not on the computer (say... You want to read the manual on the bus, or on an airplane or whatever).
The ultimate option is, obviously to have both!
Put a paper manual in the game case, but have a (none-scanned!) PDF version on the disc, so depending on the circumstances you can choose which one to use.
