Thanks Ardvaark - Juding by feedback from a small sample of players we have
it looks like pdf is going to prove popular. I don't think that the price
differential will affect us in any serious way as our own game's free - But
we should be able to cap the drain on resources we've recently had by not
needing to use our own money for things like Paper and Toner cartridges

PDF samples should be on their way in the next 24 hours.
