I do that also--but having had the experience of accidentally wiping 
out 9 chapters of a book ms (which I was able to recover by OCRing 
the printout I had completed literally moments before) and at other 
times the experience of saving a corrupted file over the good one on 
my backup, I'm sure glad to have that system in place. I would much 
rather print an unnecessary ream of paper than recreate 9 chapters 
from scratch!

But the main reason, for me, is I'm a much better editor (and 
especially of my own work) on paper than on screen, so I need to 
print it anyway.
