    I was thinking more along the lines of available, accessible appendages for keeping track of his sums.

      Just curious to know how many of us are conservative about using printing papers ? I noticed in last one year I hardly use one pack of printer paper.I try to avoid printing paper as much as I can. I even reuse the margin of printed paper to do some note taking or calculation to make sure I don't waste it. Whenever I print something I feel guilt of cutting down more trees. Am I being too conservative to use paper ?

      JOKE PART Well, definitely you are: I have a script that automatically prints all the e-mails that I receive. In that way I have our secretaries fully employed on organizing papers and putting coloured post-its to them. Also, some other secretaries are always making copies of ALL the documents and in that way I have replaced the expensive backup solutions out there: I have seen that a scanner armed with OCR can do it wonderfully... You should see the secretaries looking for the right post-it note when they have to recover one document... Ah... the joy of paper... SERIOUS PART I even don't have drawers in my office... so I don't use paper... only when we print some product manuals...

        You should use more. Some trees are grown specifically for processing into paper. If nobody uses paper, their very existence will have been in vain. They will become depressed and as a result will become more susceptible to diseases. Living so close to each other, as they do, these diseases will spread extremely rapidly, decimating entire forests. All because you were too frugal in your use of paper. You should be ashamed of yourself! :-D

        To ease the depression they are known to play the game of falling over and seeing if anyone hears them.

          I don't even have a printer, I occasionally print stuff to PDF though. It's very rare that I ever need to print anything outside of work, maybe once every 3 years or so? On those occasions I use someone elses.

            You should definitely use more, cutting back on printing is giving everyone an itchy bum; Itchy Bum Time[^]

              Me..Duplex. Two pages per sheet. Save paper that has a blank side for scratch work with pen. I print a heck of a lot of articles from cp actually which comprises the largest plurality of my printing.

                              Not sure where you live, the part of the California that I live in, most of the houses are build like that. The only thing non-wood is the fireplace.

                                But wood is flimsy, it burns, and you can hear the people walking on the floor above you. It also smells funny. But most importantly, it's flimsy.

                                  yes, it burns very well. That is whey whenever a house burns only thing that remains is the fireplace that looks like someone is showing a middle finger. Yes sound is a problem but a well constructed wood house might not have it but that is rare unless you are ready to spend big dollars. No smell problem, the wood is painted quite well. Flimsy?
