I hate e-books.  After about 10 minutes of reading one, progressively
getting slower and slower, I inevitably end up with a migraine.  Yes,
my refresh rate is set fine etc.  I much, much prefer old fashioned
paper.  I am not a fan of printing out reference material from an
electronic source either but sometimes I have to.

By the way, I love that sig file about Windows 2000 :-)  nice one.
