Exactly. Ergonomics, ergonomics, ergonomics!!!! It's the key. Sorry,
Steve, but we'll never achieve 'paperlessness' until some genius solves
the very real ergonomic issues that hinder human interaction with a
computer. Like Taina, I need more interaction with my information than
what my computer affords. When somebody can put computer information
into a thing that I can hold in my hand and flip through like a sheet of
paper or a book while moving around my office, instead of sitting in one
place staring at an illuminated screen 28" in front of my nose, then I
may be willing to stop printing every email that's over 2 sentences
long. Until then, I guess I'm a confirmed Gutenberger.
