Intel Manuals!

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Well, I've got my laptop and a 1600x1200 flat screen CRT on my desk (used to have another, too), and the CRT is hooked up to my old desktop which now runs various servers as well as a desktop environment on top of Fedora 8. That's quite sufficient, but I still prefer hard copy anyways. Never been able to sit and read through a PDF. :-P

So, yeah, no emails yet, I'm going to reorder.

I wouldn't reorder, they have your order queued... I only sent 2 email and I keep receiving order confirmations. (I cancel them of coarse.)

Be patient, they'll get around to sending something.. 8)

But for tech manuals I prefer a digital copy.
I've used the Intel manuals more when they're in hard copy than I ever did when they were digital - it's just too much work loading up the PDF and going through it (especially with Adobe Reader).

If I ordered on Feb. 23, and all I got was an automated message saying that "Jamie" would be back in the office on that Monday (I think I ordered on a Saturday), should I reorder or is there likely that large a queue?

It must be a very large queue, I emailed them quite a while ago and haven't gotten any sort of confirmation yet. Perhaps I improperly formatted the email. :-P

Just got mine about an hour ago. They're a lot more confusing now that the focus is kinda towards the 64bit, but I haven't read much yet.
