I can't weigh in on the whether or not the v[9] manual is in color or not [be cool if it were], but wanted to comment on hardcopy vs PDF.

I have to say I'd much rather have a hard copy than a PDF. I find the PDF a pain to deal with, and find things in, and alsot that a PDF as large as the one for the manual runs ungodly slow on my PC [not that my PC is exactly powerful tho]. I also think its a lot easier to be able to have the manual sitting on the desk rather than jumping back and forth on a single monitor between a PDF and Modeler/Layout or whatever.

Leroy you could always tell the wife that it'd be cheaper and more efficient to buy the manual from Newtek then print it out, since it'd take a reem of paper or better and I wouldn't even want to think about how much ink it'd take with as many images as are in it.
