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).
