   I started submitting SF stories to magazines in the late 1990's.   
      
   It usually cost me $4.50 or so for the mailing, plus a return envelope with   
   stamp for the reply.  The dollar was worth so much more in those days!    
   Besides, I'd sold my business to write Science fiction -- had no real income.   
      
   To me, the really irritating thing was having to take the time to print out   
   the manuscript.   
      
   Plus many magazines would not accept manuscripts printed on dot-matrix   
   printers that did not produce "letter" quality print.   
      
   So I bought a used impact, letter quality printer that was slow.  My time is   
   valuable.  Standing around, waiting for that printer drove me up the wall.   
      
   Electronic submissions are so much more superior.   
      
   NAMASTE
