We had a salesguy once who had his secretary print out all his emails, 
and he'd write the response on them and she'd type it in.  This was a 
"New Media" company, mind.  His job was to go out and sell the wonderful 
(erm...) web sites we were building for them, yet he wouldn't be able to 
use Notepad, let alone Outlook.

Mind you, the guy could sell fridges to Eskimos.  He was very good, even 
if we'd cringe on every sales call when we heard what he was promising.
