Anthony,
Yeah, you're right. I didn't think of that. That wouldn't go over too well
in that situation I guess. The "paperless society" concept seems almost as
silly as the conversion to the metric system in the US, doesn't it? I guess
we'll always have the need to flip pages and look at the pictures. At least
until our web enabled cell phones can generate holograms.
