every time i print out a new version of the introduction, it reads better ..which is good.. but i immediately spot a dozen errors and improvements that i can readily fix on the computer.
after enough fixes and additions, i can no longer stand to read DVI or LaTeX on the screen. i can no longer see errors, and nothing seems much different from before. on the other hand, paper is more intuitive.
i don't know why:
text should be text, right?
i still like paper much better. for example, pen marks look much better on paper than on LCD screens. i'm keen on flipping pages, back and forth: so easy! on the other hand, one must be expert at scrolling up/down to find one's way around screen text ..
.. but then again, word search options on computers are quite nice.
at any rate, i meant to write about how i am become a minor eco-terrorist, by printing out so many pages. i recycle them, of course, but the guilt remains.
if there's one thing i don't need, it's more guilt. the thesis is already behind schedule (read: my schedule and plans) and every day is one more failure.
