Definitely.  I can read paper for much longer than a CRT :)

I use three resources a lot: html'd man pages, online man pages, and
printed manuals.  The hyperlinks in html are useful when I'm learning a new

man documents are useful for quick lookups, and the printed documentation is
best for browsing.
