There also seems to be a tendency for people to "learn PageMaker" and
then promptly forget that X-Acto knives exist.  Evidently, they look
at this nice, perfectly aligned page coming off the Lino and just can't
bear to take a knife to it, even for a simple correction.  They also spend
hours and hours trying to get "effects" off the computer that would take
less than a minute to do by hand or with a little simple camera work.

Grumble.
