+Quite some time back, I
+<a href="http://www.gag.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/2005/08/29#2005.08.29">wrote</a>
+about my disappointment that
+<a href="http://www.ampad.com">Ampad</a>
+had ceased manufacturing their Quad Ruled Steno Books,
+which I use to make notes to myself on just about everything.
+
+Several of my friends in Europe responded that similar pads in A5 size were
+commonly available in retail stores, and I quite happily bought a few on a
+trip to Germany. Then, one of my colleagues at work had some nice notebooks
+made up for a customer event with grid paper and suitable logos on the cover
+that I grabbed a few of and have used quite happily.
+
+Sometime in the intervening years, Ampad started producing these pads again,
+but with a different product number, 42036. I stumbled over some at a local
+office supply store and bought a big pile... others have noticed too, and sent
+me email about it, which is why I'm taking the time to write this...
+
+Yes, I'm much happier now!
