I have a two sided scanner that will scan it pretty quickly, I like to have electronic copies of everything (I am a geek) - I have done the same thing with other manuals, but never thought to take them to a printer/copy shop to have the back cut off, mine usually have ragged edges and remnants of glue and paper all over them.
I've been watching eBay for a 2003 base manual and the SE Supplement - they go quick.

Ha we got a new scan, fax, copier the other day set it up and it works good. I walked into the secretaries office with my manuals the other day and she picked up the letter opener and pointed it at me I took it as a Im not in the mood and eased back out the door, hehehe she wants a new computer so I think she will see it my way soon
