Wow, that sure is a commentary on the fact that computers MAKE more work than they save! 50%? Where 
did you read/hear that? I find it a little hard to believe but the modern age is an endless vile 
stream of minutea, so perhaps we have doubled our total information heap since the dawn of the 
computer age. A modest suggestion -- history will likely prove out that a good portion of that 50% 
isn't worth saving.
