[sneak]

IMHO, making records (flammable ones that exist in only one place and don't automatically back up and replicate) by smudging dark schmutz on to dead tree pulp is barbaric.

It's barbaric even when done with a printer. It's extra barbaric doing the smudging with your low resolution meat claw.

I carry a portable battery powered bluetooth thermal printer with me in my handbag. The only thing I will handwrite is my signature.
