[AT] Machinery's Handbook downloadable 26th edition

[Jim and Lyn Evans]

Having used both, the printed copy is much easier to use.  You can flip
right to the section using the thumb tabs and then browse to find what you
want.  
I guess you can do that with the computer version, but it is not as handy.
I have also used the cheaper edition without the thumb tabs.   Those are a
lot harder to find stuff.

I have at least 4 copies in my office... older collector copies.  I do refer
to one of the newer ones often (newest is '43, 12th edition).  I'll not even
think about downloading on my dialup, but it would be nice to have a CD to
use on the shop computer that I use for manuals.  I'll bet things would be
quicker to pull up from the CD than a printed version.  Can anyone confirm
this?
