Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a student.
Everyone is a teacher.

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.
