Hi, Eldon,

This conversation reminds me of "Court Martial", one of the episodes in 
the first season of the original Star Trek:

Kirk's curmudgeonly old lawyer insisted on having actual books with him 
... didn't use the computerized ones.

Yes, I'm sure that in time, books-on-computer will become very 
reasonable and very easy to use, but I'm willing to bet that a few 
people will hold out for paper.
