I realize that "MacWorld" is a fluff magazine, but this latest issue
(Dec. '87) takes the cake.  They actually PAID someone for the following
"How to/Quick Tip":

	Tip:  When I first started using continuous-feed paper, the tedium
	of tearing off the edges almost did me in.  I've developed a system
	that about cuts the time in half.  First, you fold the printed paper
	into a stack the way it came from the box.  Then you loosely fold it in
	half lengthwise so the tear-off strips are together.  Now you can
	tear off all the edges together, and lickety-split you're off doing
	something better with your time.

	[the editor added the following comment...]
	If you have a thick pile of printed pages, separate it into smaller
	stacks before applying this method.

Can you believe the low IQ of these guys?!?
"I've developed a system...".  PLEASE!  Don't be so modest!         
"that about cuts the time in half." Really?!?            

Are things really so SLOW in Indiana (and at MacWorld) that they actually
believe that mindless trivialities like the above are important to Mac
users?  Ignorance of that magnitude is scary!
