»CL0: Print Your Letters On Paper
»CL6:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by »CL5:Adonis »CL5of »CL5:IRIS
»CL1:Last week, I received a letter from a
friend and I must say that I was very
pleased to read his words (as always).
However, it was far more enjoyable
this time, because »CL8:he told me that he
had printed out the letter from me,
since he wanted to take the time for
it and he started to read»CL1:. No
computer, no Amiga, just him,
the letter, a coke, and his coach.
This is one of the things which
motivates me to continue swapping and
write those letters. I guess that I
should get a printer again and start
to do the same thing, because it is a
new way to read the letters from your
contacts.
»CL6:Way back, when I started to swap, it
was common to receive paper letters»CL1:,
and there was nothing special in that.
I wrote most of my letters when I was
in school. It was time consuming, so
why not do it when you were probably
going to sleep anyway?
The fact is that listening to the
radio and reading is a very different
from to watching movies. You have your
own pictures in your head and you have
to use your imagination if you want to
see things in front of you.
»CL6:The reason why I think that it is a
good idea to print your letters is
that IRC will not distract you or some
e-mail you need to answer»CL1:. It is just
you and your letter.

Try to imagine what I thought when I
read the words from this contact! He
had done something special with my
letter, so that he could enjoy it even
more. Those things can soften an old
swappers heart! At least my heart. :)
A question. How many of you sometimes
look at old letters you have stored on
your hard drive or how many of you
sometimes load Yam to check some of
the older e-mails from your friends,
just to see what they have been
writing to you in the past? I guess
that not many of you can answer this
question with "I do".
»CL7:I have collected all the handwritten
letters I received in the past.
Occasionally, I find them and browse
through them to remember old friends»CL1:,
since most of them are no longer
active.
Thank God, fresh blood has been added
now and then, so I still have the
opportunity to send such letters these
days. »CL8:I can only say that it is sad
that people, myself included, have
become too lazy to take the time to
write the letters by hand or at least
print them out on paper»CL1:.
The special contact we are talking
about here is Gone. I guess everybody
know this guy. He is definitely a
person you should contact if you want
to have a reliable person around.
That was the closing words for this
article. So, go print your next letter
and see if I am not right.
