PDF - Instant gratification, cheaper, and I can always print here if I need a hard copy.

I think you should offer both PDF & paper so it takes care of everyone.

That was my initial assumption, but there is an investment to make up front printing paper patterns - printing on demand is much more expensive. Overwhelmingly, people would prefer PDF files, which would be great as there is no investment other than the time to write up the patterns and the set up of the shopping cart.

Can't live any rural than me, I live in the state forest. I got around the slow dial up. Check out Verizon wireless WiFi modem it runs about $60 per month (unlimited access) but to me it's well worth the cost since I do a lot of stuff on this computer. Also you can run up to 5 computers at once, they have to have your access code to hook up so it's secure to anyone you don't want using it. I plug it in only when one of here at the house want to go online so that's another way you can keep tract of who's on line.
