That's more like a 13th-century solution... did you illuminate the borders
while you were at it?
There's some clerk at UPS saying to himself 'holy #^&$', hasn't this guy
ever heard of computers? : )

Cya,

Just did one of those '19 century solutions' myself.  I needed to include 3
copies of a bill of lading on some UPS stuff I recently sent off to Canada.
Went onto my SO's laptop, because her's is set up to run a printer...But she
is kinda clutzy with all this 'computer stuff' (even more than I am) and
none of it worked as it was supposed to...
  So, using my 'problem solving' talents, rather than waste a day learning
how to work her computer's OS and re-install the printer drivers, re-install
the ink cartridges, go to town to get some of those, blah blah blah...
  I took a pencil and wrote my bill of lading 'long-hand', three times...in
about 5 minutes time.  "Old Tech", I know.
  I'll fix our 'time-saving' word processing stuff later....when I have
time...
