The "paperless office" was a prediction from the (early?) '80s, but it's
turned out that if you give people access to an easy means of
typing and editing text (a word processor) and a printer, they'll make
print-outs of everything...

Me too... The way I see it, people like to be able to take hold of
something they're reading, not having to push buttons or move a mouse.
Plus of course you can read those print-outs on the train home without
having to boot up a notebook, if you can afford one that is.
