From what Carroll said, it would appear to me that your presuming was presumptuous, as his comments didn't support it... IMHO, of course <G>
Efficiency? Do you remember what dot-matrix printers were about? The paper feed problems? Ugh. I'm so glad they're almost extinct.
Strange... I have been using one at each job for something close to 25 years, not just for cheque printing, but for general accounting reports (the pin holes on the side made for easy storage in binders similar to duotang in structure...) and I can not honestly recall the last time that
I had any paper feed problems. AAMOF, I have had more problems with
laser printers jamming due to high humidity conditions which caused the paper to not feed properly, especially with HP printers and their strange paper paths...
You may regret making such a comment. You do remember that I am

I have an NEC 26 pin dot matrix printer in the attic, waiting for a
good home.
Actually sir they did - and he confirmed so in this same packet.

You mean this... Thppppfffffppppphhhttttt! ? <GG>
Set it up in MailMaker. It's easy, and mine is on the first one, Ctrl- Shift-1 <G>
ofUm, what are you doing storing paper, dude!! It's (checks watch) 2010 already. Data storage no longer has to be in the form of catalogues
paper. 1992 just called - they want their dot matrix printers back. :D
They can't have their dot matrix printers.. they are in use. And paper storage is a normal thing for us non-government types... we buy in bulk
to save some money (which you government types take away from us <G>) As far as accounting is concerned, the paperless office never happened,
and mainly due to government requirements for hard copy documents... not that we need them necessarily, but you folk require them all the time..

Entirely stupid? The government? The same government that designed the employee deduction forms so that the perforation to tear off the
government portion is approx. 1/8" above where the automatic machinery
the form to insert it in the envelope, making it nearly impossible to tear off the government portion cleanly? That government? Entirely stupid?
NO KIDDING! <G>
I can't believe how stupid we're being with this. And government is trying to promote paperless too, in a big way.
That's right... paperless for everyone else but them. Yeah, you can pay your government bills electronically, and thus "save paper", but if it comes down to an audit, that same government in the form of it's
auditors is going to ask for "hard copy" proof of payment...
Is this a forest-trees thing, I wonder?
If you mean not only can those in charge of the government not see the forest for the tres, they can't see the trees either, than yes, it is a "forest-trees" thing <G>
I think that's one of the driving factors for e-health. The amount of paper required when ever anyone puts in an initial claim for disability - doctors notes, investigation materials - is simply astounding. We are
long past the due date for getting all of this stuff digitized.

You may regret making such a comment. You do remember that I am
