I don't print my personal code--both in light of the fact that I
know it much more intimately and I longer own a printer.  But when
trying to wrap my head around other people's code at work, printing
helps to get both the big picture and the details at the same time,
as well as allows me to annotate it with multi-colored
pens/highlighters.

Maybe I'll reconsider when I have a 300+ dpi desktop surface that is
as large as my desk+walls (where those printouts end up).
