Blue.....thanks for the link.....but how many "actual" pages print out if I were to do that?
The document is 213 pages in Acrobat. Some printers have options that allow you to print 2 pages, or even 4 pages, on a single 81/2 by 11 or 11 by 17 piece of paper. And some printers can duplex (print on both sides of the paper). It depends on the printer you have.
While it is cost effective to download documents directly to your computer for reading and reviewing at your convenience, the consensus is that you need to print off and have a hard copy of any information you want to refer to during a pandemic. There is always the likelihood that you may not be able to power your computer during a pandemic. Also, it is not always convenient to take your computer to the location where you need to review the information. i.e. you would not want your computer in an isolation room, nor would you want to have your computer next to you for reference if you are trying to fix your water pump in the middle of your pond.

Many may already be familiar with these publications offered for free by the Hesperian Foundation. This seemed like a good place and time to revisit this site:
"In the beginning of change, the patriot is a scarce man (or womanhttps://flutrackers.com/forum/core/i...ilies/wink.png), and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for it then costs nothing to be a patriot."- Mark TwainReason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it. -Thomas Paine
