I have to say that every time I bump into academicia, I’m dismayed by how they use computers. Most recently, when I noticed that the application form for a post at a cutting edge technology research unit was a PDF form that I should print out and fill in, rage at these mortar-boarded tossers filled my heart. No word as yet on whether I should send the form by pidgeon, but I’m afraid my typewriter broke in 1997, leaving me tragically unable to fill in the form.
