Might we be seeing an HTML version of the original manual sometime later? I think it's a reasonably fair request, since I think the manual did serve a purpose for people new to Marathon, and I'm sure that more people who are new to the series will be playing since the release of RX.
Oh, and I couldn't help but notice that the manual seemed to imply that in-game cutscenes were originally planned for the full version. Time issues aside, what were the technical issues involved? Since Carlos on the Run/Muerte Machine did it, I suppose it might have been possible...
