To be fair, by writing a book or term paper or whatnot entirely on a computer, it's possible to revise the thing until you're satisfied with it before printing it out. I gave a copy to a friend recently to go over, and I haven't even finished writing the thing--I loaned him my data stick. And he's going to return the stick with pictures he took using his phone. (No, I'm not expecting them to be as good as photos taken with a camera. However, my camera was out of batteries at the time the pictures were taken.)

Geonuc, are you thinking of Andy Jackson, too?
