Tried that.  My problem was that I found out that if I tried to mark a
line of source with a highlighter, the highlighting didn't move when I
scrolled the text.  Plus it was kind of nasty trying to clean the ink
off my monitor screen.  :) :) :)

Just kidding.  (Insert old joke with punchline "there's whiteout all
over your screen" here.)  But while I think some people are able to
cope without printouts, others sometimes need to have that piece of
paper to look at.  Don't ask me why.
