I used to have a box of crummy line-feed paper that I used in a dot matrix printer hooked up to my Apple IIe. I liked the endlessness of the accordion-fold paper. Also I felt like it was very cool (and a bit surreal) to take data that is inside the computer and print it out and leave it in piles on the desk. I wasn't tied to a tiny screen anymore...

I just re-watched Colossus: The Forbin Project and I thought it was funny how you could tell that the paper was much higher-quality than the stuff I had in my box. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vn0... <- should skip to 36 seconds in

I just spent my morning watching that movie, and now I'll probably spend the rest of the day reading the book. Awesome movie, thanks for posting it.
