Could you design some clever CSS that automatically calculates when the last 
page of your printout is going to consist of the header, the footer and a 
couple of words of text?  I'd hate to think how many sheets of paper get 
wasted like that every year...

Perhaps a new feature for Mozilla - "Auto-squeeze" reduces word and line 
spacing to fit your web pages on to as near a whole number of pages as 
possible!

WTF am I rambling on about?  I should go to sleep... nn all... ZzZzZzZzZ
