The multiple kilograms of macerated, pounded, steamed, bleached, and
pressed trees that accompany most modern software or hardware
products (see also {tree-killer}). Hackers seldom read paper
documentation and (too) often resist writing it; they prefer theirs
to be terse and on-line. A common comment on this predilection is
"You can't {grep} dead trees". See {drool-proof paper}, {verbiage},
{treeware}.
