2007/12/21: for crying out loud!

It took me over an hour to print out the latest draft chapters of RDA (Really Dreadful Annoyance).

Yes, I know it's going to be the online product which will eliminate some of the redundancies through the magic of hypertext. Yes, I know that in the real world people won't be reading this work wholesale -- it is a reference tool, after all.

BUT

How on earth can we ever expect anybody outside of the library science domain to use this if it takes a major re-arrangement of schedule to merely print it out???

I think I may have given myself a hernia carrying it to my car.
