  2. I like using that size of paper too (that's about A5 over here) and I'm not above halving a regular sheet of paper to get some. This way, the typecast is easily completed :)

    Good news about the new scanner!

  3. A possible paper tip: my typical typecasting paper is letter paper cut in half. I took a whole ream to Kinkos and asked them to chop it for me, giving me a thousand pages to play with. I think they charge about a dollar a cut, maybe two. Makes for nice cheap plain stationery.

    SG1s rule.

  4. @notagin: I like those plans!

    @Adwoa: Yeah, I've halved paper before, too. In some typers that works well and other the paper gets kind of uneven. Its all good!

    @LFP: Nice tip. I hadn't thought about Kinkos chopping a ream. I usually just chop my paper as I use it, not a big deal, but I bet they produce much cleaner cuts.

  5. Are we supposed to answer these questions? Are they rhetorical? If an SG1 in a closet clacks but no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

    The "Mystery Park" in Interlaken, Switzerland closed somewhere in the last years. But a global type-in in my country, why not? We have great trains and mountains and train stations at +3000m over the sea level. Why not a mountain-type-in on the Jungfraujoch? :D

    My standard typing paper is one A4-paper cut in half, that's A5, and it's very cool. You don't have to write much but it looks like you've done something. :)

  8. I fold my 8.5" x 11" copy paper in half to typecast on, that way the platten is protected by a second sheet below the first. And yes, I still sometimes get uneven paper feeds, especially near the bottom of the sheet. I suppose it depends on the condition of the feed rollers in my machines.
