Hey Ed - Thanks SO MUCH For bringing that article to my attention. I think its GREAT when this kinda thing happens - the proper usage of computing power and FINALLY folks that stop going thru REAMS of paper. Something like this should have happened YEARS ago - as people claimed that with the advent of wide usage of computers - there would be Less paper usage. But, we all know the contrary - MORE Paper usage. Hell - there are people in many offices - like at my co. - and I am sure at many others - where people feel that they have to print out almost EVERY E-mail!
It especially makes me Nauseous when I see how MUCH Paper, printouts, and copies are made in my office here - when we are supposed to BE a COMPUTER SW company! Even the outsourcing dept. - which does data processing for Other companies - they are the biggest culprit. It so scary here - that on the top of peoples cubicles in the outsourcing area - they have Reams and Stacks of papers. For crying out Loud - we are a software and data processing company - and people should learn to Process data WITHOUT Printing out the Darned Stuff! Ok - Rant Mode off... -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ed Leafe Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] why learn how a new M$ product could be better On Mar 2, 2012, at 10:34 AM, MB Software Solutions, LLC wrote: >> I know a few people who only use a tablet today.

For example: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/03/02/switching_to_ipads_saves_v ancouver_city_council_50k_pages_a_year.html ( -or- http://j.mp/AtR3ls ) I almost never take my laptop to a meeting. I can do just about anything I need to do with my iPad, and it's so light I take it everywhere. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a140b7ce...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
