I do have a technical education and I ain't lookin' for a coffee-table book of pretty pictures!

If poor-quality text were the only issue, I could get by that -- I can read the distorted text, annoying as it is. The problem is that the technical info I need is essentially not there due to the poor quality.

Did you even bother to look at the file I'm particularly concerned with before dismissing my post as "*****ing"? See <whatever drive your CD is>:\program\Climate\83-600a.pdf, especially the wiring diagrams on pages 10 & 11. The diagrams there are useless -- USELESS!

I often use the zoom feature on my Adobe reader to expose detail in the drawings and schematics. I find the illustrations and schematics to be very clear and detailed.
Sure, I know about zooming in on detail, but zooming in on nothing only gives you a larger view of nothing! Evidently, they did a much better job on the 126 version.

EDIT: I've attached a screenshot -- now tell me that isn't crap!
