I actually give people that answer from time to time. ;-)

I am astounded that you would think that paper is obsolete.

I mean, sure, people have been /talking/ about going paperless for 
decades. And yet... we're still surrounded by paper. Heck, it's been 
possible to read documents on a computer since before I was even born, 
and yet book shops still sell thousands of paper books per day. Hell, 
today we even have specialised e-readers, devices which exist solely for 
the purpose of reading stuff. And yet, paper books are still vastly more 
popular. Because, you know what? Paper is more convenient than any 
computer screen.

As a side note, RS-232 /is/ obsolete. But do you have /any idea/ how 
much equipment literally isn't usable without RS-232? You might be 
surprised.
