There is a thin line between absolute luddism and reasonable
machine-crashing.
For instance: Writing some words with your own handwriting onto postcard
(paper) is a hundred times more personal message than the blog-like
preprinted 10 pages new-year template to all your 53 acquaintances about
what you did last year. More infomation, no warmth.
And why do we do this project anyway? Could stick to the Forum Gallery (with
all these 38/39 entries), that everyone could load down and print out.
All right, all right, I won't complain. I write much on paper as well (e.g.
notices "Check it from the PC!") and
I've tried shouting instead of phonecall and it didn't work at all :)
But drawing 38 postcards . . . there's something to consider . . .
Regards,
Peeter
PS: about all these luddites and other people - there was some time ago a
relevant story about how Amishes deliver computer viruses, but I do not
recall it exactly.

I'm enjoying this! My wife won't even look at a computer...everything is
written onto paper. A female Luddite!
Me - everything on computer.
Let's face it, if using writing alone is so vital and personal why aren't
most photographers turning back to painting as their only medium? (I can't
paint or draw to save my life!)
