One thing to consider,
I find that the 'printable view' is useful for things *other* than printing
- i.e. screen captures. I find the omission of this function from the
monobook skin to be regretable.
Of course admins and poweruser's can be informed to switch skins, but the
casual user is unlikely to make the distinction. Of course the installation
can be modified to use an alternate skin as the default - but monobook is
*much more* attractive IMHO.
Best Regards,
JT

The Classic skin, I believe, had/has a link to a special "Print
Version" of each article. The MonoBook skin, by using CSS, simply
tells the browser to print the page differently than it displays it.
This is of course rather more "magic" than most users expect...
