It is Great that you want to update these documents but I think it would
|
|
be _much_ better to keep them separate, and use the document tree
|
|
structure to group them. Thus, you'd have a "Removable Drive" category
|
|
containing the documents on JAZ, ZIP, floppy, etc.
|
|
|
|
The reasons for keeping several smaller documents are:
|
|
|
|
1) A monolithic document is harder to maintain, even if there are several
|
|
people maintaining it.
|
|
|
|
2) You don't normally need it. For example, if I need information on a ZIP
|
|
drive, I don't want to waste paper printing out information on JAZ and
|
|
floppy drives.
|
|
|
|
3) Smaller, focused documents are easier to cross-reference, and it is
|
|
easier to define alternate information paths to them. For example, you may
|
|
want to group the ZIP drive under "USB devices" as well as "Removable
|
|
Drives", but it would not be relevant to put JAZ drives in this category.
