H3 service manual, for reference?

[f5fstop]

I just checked Helm, Inc., which is the fullfillment house for GM manual distribution. They do not list a paper service manual for the H3, only the DVD. The DVD, contains Information on all GM vehicles from 1998 Thru 2006; that is why the price is $400.00.
When the paper only H3 comes out, I'm going to guess it will be around $130.00, but that is a guess, since there has been talk at GM to discontinue all paper manuals.
The DVD version must be left in the computer at all times, you can't copy it over to your hard drive, so anytime you need to use it, it has to be inserted into the DVD reader. It also has some problems running on anything other than 2000 or XP professional; unless they fixed this problem. I will say, I have been able to run it on XP home (laptop) with minor problems; however, I have friends who have failed.
