And I will tell you that when you are in a dark wiring closet trying to
figure out how to "get into" an unfamiliar piece of equipment, a
flashlight and the right collection of paper is priceless, while the
cold, dark screen is worthless.
I think of this "paperless" idiocy every time I write "20 reams of
printer paper" on the grocery list. For the first half of my life --
maybe a little less -- I did not ever do that. Thanks, G*d, I no longer
by 8½ X 11 and 11 X 17 fan-fold (½ of that green-bar).
