[From the New Yorker]

  Paradoxically, however, it is the slowness
of  word  processors  that  excites  writing
teachers  even  more.   The  delay   between
phrasing  a  point  and  printing  it  makes
time for revision, and  makes  the  revision
less  painful  than  it  is  with  pen  a or 
typewriter, so studetns  do  more  revising.
Most  of  us  who  work  on  word porcessors
think  these  advantages  make   us   better
writers,  though  hard  evidence  is  as yet
lacking. --University of Wisconsin  Teaching
Forum.
