But, Steve, I think it is interesting to note that some writers are so good
at expressing the tactile/sensory side of their experience that one
experiences the smells, tastes, sounds, and touches they do, even when they
are writing online instead of on paper.  Paper is just a medium of
expression--good writers will be able to use electronic media in the same
fashion.

All,  Just back from vacation and would like to respond to this thread. 
While the discussion turned and is correct about using technology for RIM 
purposes I think the real story-line of the article was the 
tactile/sensory side  that brought the flood of memories (feel,smell,etc). 
 Electronic media will NEVER be able to do that human side of real 
correspondence and besides who wants to smell only old dry ink in a 
nondescript font.

Just my thoughts and 2 cents on what could be a long day after 2 weeks 
off.
