Umm, were they a little late to the punch on April fools day?

Personally, I like my Tablet PC and OneNote for my graduate work.  I have an infinite supply of digital paper and I can set the lines and margins to whatever I want.  My only limits are my batteries and the length of my power cord. (and yes, I do regular backups too)  ;D

David, I think you should start using the spell checker more often as your spelling is atrocious.  Either that or get skinnier fingers.

Its either fat finger syndrome, too much coffee, or sometimes even poor handwriting recognition by my tablet PC when I'm using it.
I'll use the sites spell check feature from now on to please you. ;D

I like the new paper because I can choose whether to use two or three lines.

That reminds me of a joke I heard 40 years ago.

It seems that the king of a small African nation , was envious of European kings with all there wonderfull wood thrones, with fine fabrics, fur and jewels. His was carved out of stone and not very comforable or decorative.
He had his prime minister contact a throne manufacturer, who sent a salesman  with pictures and swatches. Eventually the new throne arrived  and after placing it in the throne room, of his grass hut,  the staff asked him what to do with the old one.  It was decided to stow it up in the attic.
The king then sat on his new wonderful throne  and just as he was remarking on how comfortable it was , his old stone throne crashed through the ceiling, of his grass hut and crushed him.

The moral of the story is"people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones".
