Just delete the /pdquick4.htm from the URL and you can go to the home page.  I think I understand the concept but don't find it especially appealing.  Quoting from the home page:  PaperDisk has, to date, printed 1 megabyte compressed (originally 4MB of text) within an 8.5 by 11 inch space .  As I see it, and I may be missing something essential, in order to store image files you would have an enormous amount of paper to print, sort and somehow safeguard.  Doesn't sound at all practical to me but I may be in error.
