I still have a small ream of wide-carriage computer paper in the same green/white pattern; my uncle worked with computer systems in the late 1970s, and he'd bring us this large-sized paper for drawing purposes! :^)

Didn't notice that comment for a moment. It seems like that kind of paper still floats around these days. I see it at my school and around the house some places. And the most common thing I see on there is, drawings. Too wide for writing, and it looks bad when you print it, it's too thin and full of holes for paper airplanes...I guess drawing is the best thing its for.
The good: wonderful "blob" effect; some letters are just perfect (e.g. B,P,U,M,Z). The challenge: it appears, as if two different concepts were mixed together. Some letters don't really fit into the set (W,X, and maybe the Y). Some need fine tuning (N,V), and the C,O,Q looks a bit smaller/thinner than they should be. I know the limitations of this particular design, but I'm certain there is room for improvement here.
