1) No two things can occupy the same place. You're removing one thing, and
putting another in its place. Lather, rinse, repeat.

2) You'd be really hard pressed to substitute a machine of meat with a
machine-phase device which is functionally equivalent, and fits into
the same volume.

Well, they were there first, and they own most places between people's

At the very least, getting a few pages even in a lifestyle rag such as
Tired, sorry, Wired. A more mainstream magazine, a newspaper, a book.

I don't think you have to design all current WTA publications with dead
tree in mind, and all its limitations. I would generate Adobe Acrobat PDF
format files from the same text base, though. These offer hyperlinks,
which of course won't work on dead tree. It's a good tradeoff.
