Sites that include a "view printer-ready page" option have added one dab of
smart thinking. I'm still waiting to see a good example of sites that allow
visitors to manage, intelligently, the gathering of multiple Web documents
into a single, serial, decent-looking printout. Or would that be something
the Netscapes and Microsofts of the world should try to build into browsers?

It's definitely time to acknowledge and facilitate the uncounted
distribution we all get from having our Web documents printed, then copied,
then read.
