Ah, I understand. And to the latter clause, a big No Comment. ;)

I'll buy the latest and greatest Kindle the second it launches in
Ireland, in order to save the roughly five trees a day that I
currently kill with my vast quantity of printouts. :)

This may be atari-mae to most of you, but do note that I thought Uncle
Jeff had gone crazy when I found out about the Kindle, two years
before it launched. Funny how it turns out that every time I think I'm
smarter than Bezos, I'm wrong. :)
