I'm always forgetting that detail, but then I've come to prefer simple
_24_ pound loose 8.5x11 paper for almost everything, since it fits in my
pocket.

Presumably the computer lab'll have ssh clients already installed???  Or
at least let us install such.  Are they *nix, win$ or what?  If they're
into saving paper while still allowing printing, they could install a2ps
or some similar *nix package that allows easy n-up and duplex printing.
I'm not demanding or even requesting here, I'm happy to coexist with
whatever our hosts wish to offer, and thank them for it.  Just thinking
aloud about what works for me on a foreign computer.

Thanks for trying to balance our needs with yours/theirs.

ciao,
Gordon
