Holy Pink Pearl, Batman!

Xerox (NYSE XRX) has been making noise this week about Erasable Paper! Wow!!! The company that brought us -- through their Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) -- the mouse, the graphical user interface, Ethernet, the page description language, and on and on, now brings about the unthinkable! Actually, I don't mean to be flip. Combining the media attributes that make paper so popular (widely available, cheap, transportable, etc) with reusability is somewhat of a Holy Grail in the printing industry. Read about Xerox's latest approach and comment, please!

I am skeptical to think that this will make any dent in the paper market. When I print something, I never keep the paper prestine... I mark it up, highlight, tear, dog ear and otherwise use the paper. I would bet that I am not the only one like this. Most everyone that I know that uses paper doesn't print something and then typically keep it in good enough shape to use the paper again. Moreover, what if you want the image to last 36 instead of 24 hours?
