Hope that this doesn't sound as a flame, but hemp and a lot of other grass like plants were the main resource for papermaking worldwide until the discovery that paper can be made from wood, and consumption artificially driven up in the sky.
China's paper industry is still based around a large number of small paper factories extensively with non-wood materials. This is soon to change, as all we know Big brother sees China as the big investment of the future, with its enormous population. That meaning that if they got our western consumption rate of useless paper - wrappings, nappies etc etc they would have to switch to pulp paper production, involved with lots of bucks.
And back to the beginning - for some reason we are accustomed to thinking of paper as being white. Yes, non-wood paper isn't that white, but that doesn't make it of a lower quality.

I so excited to see, that there was going to be an event here in England, giving me a bit more chance to meet and hear more Linux people.
Unfortunately, the thing seems to be a bit "steep": a pass is £78 for the 2 days and nearly £60 if only attending on the Saturday. Plus you have to be a member of Uk's unix group... I shall have to wait for something a bit more Open.
Just saw that our uni library has got a copy of the first edition. Knowing how many books are awaiting reading in my room, decided to invest in some enlightment for whenever I get the time.

The development versions of the GIMP have a
good EE, called more or less that.
