Will that be paper - or not?

I want to be more efficient, I really do. I want to follow the advice of experts, since they are, well, experts. So fortunately this email arrived today.

Paperless Whitepapers then?

My mouse pointer was poised over the "Register Now" button. I was imagining getting rid of the office laser printer. Never buying reams of paper at Costco again. No more paper cuts!

But then, in the nick of time I was saved from making a horrible mistake by the next email.

Why is it not surprising that the Government version of InformationWeek tells me I can't get rid of paper? After all, it works sooo well for Congress.

What if I sign up for both? Would it be like registering for a "matter" and an "anti-matter" webinar, ending in my annihilation?
