AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for images to be included in the printable version of forum topics for better understanding. Users express frustration with the current process, which requires printing images separately and manually matching them to replies. A suggestion is made to use the standard print function instead of the printable version, although concerns about ink usage are raised. The potential use of PDFCreator as a solution is mentioned. Overall, there is a strong call for improvements to the printable version to enhance usability.

Printing the images separately and then remembering which one goes where (or even stapling them to the specific reply) is way too much work and hassle.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
