Hi, I just wanted to say 'thanks' for the responses to my email the other day. I got a good vibe from the project by the way I was treated on the list, which is an important factor (and somewhat of a change from the kinds of lists I usually deal with :) ).
Yes, I agree totally, and I was drawn to Drupal for not only its power and customizability, but also for the people that develop it. They're a fine bunch.
I am still a bit confused about printing. To clarify, I might want toconvert my main site to using a CMS at some point (www.multimedia.cx). I have a lot of flat text files suitable for printing if a user so chooses. I am concerned about how those would look in a CMS and whether they would print properly, given the usual set of navigation sidebars.
It is fairly simple to make a print.css stylesheet that hides the navigation. Properly linked to the generated pages by your theme, a modern browser will use that stylesheet when printing. See, for example, the conversation at http://drupal.org/node/8321
