I remember, during my data processing newbie days, printing off the
monthly reports and spending an hour or so just tearing these off. At
3-4 AM nonetheless.

  The only reason I own a flip-top pocket lighter is to hold it up at
concerts.  (For lighting fireworks, I use one of those wands.)

  I think I can honestly lay claim to all but the " Seeing Pages and
Pages of Phone S*x Ads in the Back of Free City Weeklies", and that's
because I grew up in rural NH and didn't have any free city weeklies
available.  I might have only done some of those things once, but I've
done them.

  Some I still do all the time.  Many of our customers and suppliers
still use fax constantly.  And some of our test equipment uses
floppies.

  Just last Friday I was at a customer's site, and saw an old box of
fan-fold sprocket-fed paper they had in a corner.  They used it for
scrap paper.  I had to tear off a sheet and then fold-and-tear the
