How right you are. Back in the mid-1990's, when I was manager of a large proposal documentation group, I earned the respect of the whole crew when I was able to make last minute corrections at 2:00 am when the typists had left, by using my Exacto knife, small light table, and some words pulled off error sheets that had been thrown away. I left the cut and mortised pages for the word processors to update their computer files the next morning.

Very hard to do using Word due to the weird way it spaces - you have to drop in an entire line or it won't come out with correct kerning.
Good enough for 2:00 a.m., or maybe you used WordPerfect? ;^)
