And sometimes we adults fall into the same trap. A quick check of the 
archives will turn up lots of requests to print spine labels on a 
partially-used sheet. Often the poster wants to print only two or three 
labels, and the "stupid" computer wants to start at the beginning. I've 
never had that problem, because I use a TYPEWRITER! Just because 
something is new technology doesn't make it better technology.
