    As long as you have lawyers & government, there WILL be paperwork.

    Agreed and I would add insurance and medical to that list. Been working in the legal industry for the last 20 years or so and convinced that paper is not going anywhere anytime soon.

    We used to have a 3rd party printer guy to fix our HP 8000s and other big copier units (Kyocera).. now they are all leased Ricoh MFPs and other 'smart' printers where the tech knows there is a problem before I do :)
