I was just wondering how prevalent paper manuals are. Is everyone but us using laptops for their manuals, now?

I use both pdf for searching and basic info and hard print for wiring.
And Star Trek was just a tv show...yeah right!
I always use a laptop now, it's just so much more convenient.
But we do have a old school tech that just cannot get to grips with using a computer, so he still keeps his own personal library of printed manuals.

we have pdf for the field and always end up printing a hard copy for the shop. I also have some old school tech's to work with.
we use both laptop and paper..mostly laptop now but still have the "library" for shop .
i use both, cd in the field and hard copy in the shop.
i like to use the hard copy for training and test, i feel more comfrontable.

Yeah much the same as you guys, got an external hdd with everything backed up onto it so much easier to find something on pdf, but have got most of the main manuals on paper as well. Still like to be able to use a paper manual at times.
All our Techs have laptops. We still use paper manuals in shop. Mostly because they're for dinosaur equipment. Soon that will be history. I'm scanning any old manuals to pdf's.

I use both, laptop in my van since allows more space for parts, but I prefer hard copy since they are much easier to "flip" through.
