Same applies to the HOWTOs, though otherwise I quite like
them.

Dead trees, unfortunately, have it, at least until it's easy to get
monitors with four times the screen area of my current 17 inch, a
control device something like a mouse with pages, and a transparent
way of scribbling notes into the file.

Maybe you should try two or more monitors and run
xinerama. Mine treats the two monitors as one single desktop
and its great (fvwm2).  It can be done very cheap with all the
second-hand monitors and $10 graphic cards at pc swapmeets.


Now, dual monitors might be great for that total gaming
experience or for previewing some 3-D wire frames you're working
on. But for reading documentation? Let's see, you're a speed
reader who can scan two screen fulls of data at a time ;-).

I found its useful to have the contents or index on one screen and
look at the various sections on another screen. I have a big monitor
for the first screen which helps.
