[PUP] Ok, last time I'll ask this question: Paper Charts, really?

Ok, last time I'll ask this question:
I just priced paper charts from Bellingham Chart Printers. For a trip from
Washington to New England, the Leeward and Windward Islands, North Coast of
S. America. It totals 730 charts at a cost of $3,609. This is for 2/3 size
grayscale charts (a savings of 75% of traditional charts). For this money I
can buy two laptops and cartography for the same regions. I just have a
heck of a hard time buying paper that I will likely never use. So for the
last time, you voyagers out there, do you REALLY have a complete compliment
of paper charts for your long distance voyages? How tall is a stack of 730
paper charts? Guess I just figured out what I'll do with the bunk in the
pilot house. Thanks!
