The web has become nearly intolerable.  Even the choice of font is
horrible in nearly all websites, not to mention text size, image and
ads.  It's funny how sometimes I invoke the print-friendly extension on
my browser just to read /on screen/.  But the rule is to actually print
it out.  And books, of course: I print out a chapter to see if I want to
continue the reading and it's much lighter to carry a chapter than the
entire physical book.  Electronic devices are not flexible like paper
and they reflect light in a different way and you can't write on their
margins using a device that lets you feel the friction of pencil on
paper or pen on paper.  Some pens are such beautiful devices.

Anything interesting I find on the web I print for later reading.  My
time on the computer is mostly spent writing.  Reading is a good
opportunity to actually leave the office, the house and go somewhere
else.

Having a printer today is like being the owner of the printing press.
It's hard for me to understand when people don't take advantage of that.
