Believe it or not, I would sit in my hotel room the night of SUGI registration and use the proceedings to help me determine which papers to go to. Too often the abstracts don't tell enough - so I would do a little reading.

Sharon, You are not alone. I am already tired of having to swap out CDs to use the online help - now I have to swap them for the SUGI papers as well. Sometimes I like to look at a manual and a paper simultaneously, and now I won't be able to. Plus, if you are doing something on the web (for help producing HTML, or in this case PDF files), it steals your session and you lose what you were looking at just by going to the manual or papers to reference a small point. I guess this is just one more of those things that I used to like about SAS that they've taken away.
