Re: [Callers] Cards - writing in pencil vs pen?

Emily said, "I do almost everything on the computer and I really like the idea of having my dances on physical cards". As an IT consultant, the concept of writing out data from a computer, a time-consuming and error-prone activity, is quite frightening. I spent half of my career trying to stop clients doing that sort of thing! :-) Like many other callers I have trouble with my eye-sight. My solution is to print each dance on half a sheet of standard paper. That way it is big enough to read easily. I also like it on paper as it makes it easier to roll up and put in my shirt pocket if I join in the dancing (I use a hands-free, wireless head-mike). As you say, pencil could smudge, especially if you perspire! But if you like writing in pencil, and don't mind having to do it again when the card is past its best, then, of course, you can use pencil! :-) Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive Events & DVDs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent
