Printing color instructions eats ink like crazy. For those with a color PDA the
program Fireviewer for Palm OS works great. I download the jpegs to my
computer, then use Fireconverter and compress the files 50% and to 256 colors
to keep the size manageable. Then hotsync to my Sony Clie (128 MB Memory Stick
holds LOTS of instructions) My computer and LEGO stash are on 2 different
floors so this is waaay handy :)
