    Question Helm workshop manual...

    This Quote was back in 2-22-03, I want to buy the manual now and went to their web site, price is $136.00, handling is $6.95, and tax is $10.01, for a total of $152.96.

    Is this what everyone is paying, $152.96 ???
    Can I get it for less else where ??? Thanks.

    Carlos, that's what I paid for mine 2 years ago. Sounds like a lot, but it's paid for itself 5X already...

    You can get an inexpensive CD on Ebay.
    There is nothing like the hard copy IMO.

    Sometimes you can find them on eBay. Both the CD and paper manual.

    the newer CDs (DVDs actually I think) now date expire, so to make them work you have to set your computers clock back

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    Honest question:
    If you have Both an '03 MM and an '04 MM, which year's manuals do you buy? I have faced this dilemma for some time and have not made a decision. Can anyone suggest the best answer to the problem?
    Thank you for your help.

    If you want paper manuals, you'll have to buy both years. If you buy a '04 or '05 DVD it will have all the manuals. look for the last release of '04 DVD if fsced with that year choice
