Unfortunately most companies have gone this route with computers and consumer electronics, even if the cost savings are minimal.
I wonder if anyone has worked out how many calls to helplines might have been saved if the information was easily available in a paper manual. Now I don't know about you, but trying to explain to someone over the phone as to where the manual should be (on CD or on the machine) is an exercise in frustration.
Still, it does make you appreciate the companies that actually do go and put Printed Full Manual's in their products,
