Default Printer Friendly Option.

Just wanted to say I love the Magazine guys, keep up the great work.

The only small suggestion I have would be to add a 'Printer Friendly' version of each article (ala NY Times site any many others) to make printing the articles easier.

If this has been discussed before (search showed nothing) or if such an option exists and I just missed it, sorry.

KneeCo.

Adobe Acrobat's PDF files are your friend. And they have an online version has a free trial and unlimited docs for a year for $100 rather than paying about $250 for the full version which unlike the reader actually allows you to create files.

I hate PDFs. I especially hate when sites link to PDFs without telling you that they are PDFs. Acrobat itself takes a very long time to load, then it asks for an update almost every time, then you have to play around and size the document so it fits right on your screen, etc.

I guess for printable versions only it's OK, but only if the articles are available in their current form as well.

I am sure Ed, Mason et. al. would continue with the normal HTML version only providing a PDF link if they decide to go that way. I don't know why Acrobat should take very long to load for you unless it's a very big document. And why not just update the first time it comes up so an update window come up doesn't as often?
