Sad thing is I actually believed it. And when I get packages, I feel even more foolish for my optimism.
Take, for example, my latest purchase. See if you can find it in this picture. 10 points if you do!
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that my super razor-thin phone came in 2 boxes and with enough paper to fill a small local library?
Other than the phone itself, the instructional CD was the only material I found useful. What year is futuristic enough for companies to finally send out CDs only, and let people request paper instructions if needed? Sadly, the answer is not 2006.

I forgot to mention that I ordered my phone on-line. I guess that is too subtle a clue for the phone company to think that just maybe I would only need a CD or even PDFs e-mailed to me? It's a real poser, isn't it.

I'm reminded a bit of the old controversy over Apple offering the original iMac w/o the floppy disk drive. Probably not uncoincidentally, I don't think any Apple product ships with that much paper.

Apple can do no wrong. Unless, of course, they do wrong.
Love your word verification definition! I hope you submitted it to Oscar.
