I bet in Facebook, if you needed a phone for your desk,
there are three sheets of carbon paper controlling the
deployment of equipment and staff.

That is just the way those people roll. They love the
feel of paper, and the taller the stack of orders,
the more important you are.

We used to joke about this, because some of our projects
would have a "paperless office" angle to them. Then the
twit with the phone would show up, holding carbon paper
in hand, and "ruin the illusion".

We were huge consumers of paper. The main printer in my
department went through 2000 sheets per day. Four packs
of paper. The tray was motorized and the motor lifted
2000 sheets of paper, up against the intake roller. The printers
we had back then, were excellent. There's a lot of small
printers today, you wouldn't dream of running 60,000
sheets per month through them.
