Oh lord, I ended up working at a place that had one of those. He would always carry this huge stack of old-school fan folded green and white dot matrix printer paper to prove his bona fides and would spend every meeting furiously scribbling circles and boxes on it and then throwing it away after. His catch phrase (in like 2013) was “I could probably whip together an AI solution for this but I’m too busy, you guys just let me know when you have some regular solution for me to review.”

> huge stack of old-school fan folded green and white dot matrix printer paper

My mom just got rid of 2 unopened cases of the stuff sitting in her basement from the late 80s.

I love that green-and-white paper, especially the right margin part that sometimes has the tear-off perforations. Makes for great notes.
