Paperless?
For a couple years, I've routinely used
Ampad
Quad Ruled Steno Books
to make notes to myself on just about everything.
This morning I realized I'm using the last one from my most recently acquired
package of 12... so, naturally, I tried to order some more.
They're gone. Apparently, nobody sells a quad-ruled steno pad any more.
I even called Ampad corporate customer service, where a very helpful woman poked around on her computer and confirmed that the product has been discontinued, and the last case in their inventory shipped out as part of an order to a university bookstore in early April. There aren't any more in stock, and they probably won't ever print any more.
Grumble. At least I can still buy quad-ruled engineering pads, even if they are clumsier to carry around...
