I am also becoming either a tree lover or a paper hater. Hardcopy
just sits there! what good does it do me except to look at it and
gather dust (a LOT of dust) and make me buy more and more filing
cabinets. Filing systems and databases are wonderful, but we are
entering the era of distributed information technologies (you
don't have to _have_ it to _use_ it).
Actually the one advantage to paper (I keep relatively recent or
favorite things in large PILES around the room), it that it physically
reminds me of the presence of others' work, and often sets off
chains of thought serendipitously as I look through, walk through,
and sometimes plow through my accumulations ... come to think of
it I did like Uncle Scrooge comix ...
