computers that have not been mistreated and are considerably less than 7 years old are no pain (mostly at least), but the one used to write most of the story has both been mistreated and is very old computer-wise...
'thul still need to get it fixed, but that can wait. They simply switched to their main computer for the writing, as well as making multiple backups of the story text.
the problem with doing it on pen and paper is that people are supposed to be able to read it without aid from a trained cryptologist. Its bad enough for the readers that some sentences appear written in old Norse, making them need skills in decryption is not a good idea...

Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.
