I do have to wonder how many pintouts the IT students made though...

Hopefully, they didn't make many, but that would be unlike the vast majority of students I know, who seem to only be able to survive if they have printed copies. It is one of their three majorfood groups, I think - Beer, Pizza and Paper. It seems to be all they need to be able to survive...

I am in favour of paperless working. Mind you, if the paper is from sustainable forests, and the electicity is from renewable, green, sources, there isn't much problem with having a high consumption (in fact, it may even help tap more CO2 if done properly).
