    I just read this article & would like to share with you all.
    Wis. college says new e-mail font will save money - Yahoo! News

    I am going to try it, since I do a lot of emailing & print out emails (for record) daily.

    As a point of protest of this silliness, I am going to intentionally use as much monitor ink as I can in this reply.

    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Well one thing that should be looked at is how much paper they print. Not only are they using Ink but they are also using paper and power to print the sheets. Plus they need to store the paper somewhere.


    This is similar to the idea of designing google with a black background because it will save energy on monitors around the world!

    I have a fabric website that does this and I don't like reading it. They give you the option of switching when you go there and I always switch. It is really blinding.
