Then and Now

Then:
Print your spec. Go to the copy room, find the printer jammed and your at the end of the queue. Wait for a while and get your spec.

Now:
Add your printer very easily. Print your spec. Go to the copy room. Find that the printer which holds and entire forrest of paper is out of paper. Do the right thing and add paper. Add more paper, jeez the thing holds literally 4000 pages. I wasn't quite the boy scout and only added 2000 pieces of paper. Watch while someone else's book prints. Wait. Wait some more. Talk to other people who are waiting in line after you... wait more... finally put the guy's book with his little cover pager (remember his alias for future use) finally get your 2 page spec out...
