Take your pick: 0/1/* ... but beware – your click could tank an entire edition of a century-old newspaper

Re: Talking of paper...

Amdahl had a largish printing facility just off Central Expressway in Sunnyvale (Cupertino?) in the 1980s ... Virtually every mainframe print-job generated within the company, world-wide, was printed at said facility, and then next-dayed to whatever office had requested the print job. They had several gawdawfulfast channel attached printers, and a fleet of trucks delivering & sending out paper. Was awesome to watch in full-swing, if you had adequate ear protection.

However ... it sounded daft then, and still sounds daft now :-)
