RE: Online or hardcopy portfolios?

["Ed" <hamonwry12 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Why not just point them to a page on a personal web site with links to each
item? That way they can choose what to view and download. If you stuff it
all into a PDF, you're forcing them to download the whole thing, which may
or may not be helpful to them.
