Tallyn, my wife is currently studying for a big test, one that will take 5 or 6 hours. One of her biggest concerns is having to write with pen and paper for that long. Something she rarely does and knows will cause great pain in her hand. Let alone the pain caused to the marker by having to try and read my wife's handwriting. In 50 to 500 times there will be people laughing hard at us for thinking the ability to write with a pen was essential.

You can almost picture your grandchildren laughing at you for picking up a pen and paper to write your to do list can't you?? It is an exciting time we live in though:-)) Good luck to your wife.. she will need a hand massage after that sized written test..
