For myself, that and laziness.  I still own a printer, and have
about 3/4 of a ream of A4 paper sitting in my supplies cupboard.
Probably still have a spare ink cartridge in there somewhere
too.  I don't think I've even had the thing plugged into the
computer for about two years.  Probably longer.

My 91 year old grandfather is the _only_ member of my extended
family and circle of friends that doesn't have an e-mail
address.  Work is all e-mail and PDF (OK, sometimes Word, but
I can cope...)  There simply isn't any need to kill trees for
communication purposes any more.

The _very_ rare formal (paper) letter that I still need to write
from time to time: I do long hand.  Feels kind of weird, but I
bet it gives the recipients a surprise.
