You are dadgummed right Gary; Bruce too.  It is a generational habit; a
paradigm that the next couple of generations will change much better
than
ours.   Ninety eight percent of all information created and received in
the
western world is created electronic, by computer applications and data
acquisition devices.

Why still all the paper?  Bruce hit the proverbial nail on the head.
Our
bad habits along with printers and copiers being readily available.
This
paradigm should change for the better with the next couple of
generations.

I could take only two years of retirement.  I am back in the RIM world
and
also back in utilities; at First Energy working for Komal.  I am RIM
Supv.
at First Energy's Perry Nuclear Plant, and enjoying it thoroughly.

And..., I still hate paper ...

Best regards, Steve
