Is this article supposed to be suggesting that autopens are an example of "outdated, bloated government"? Because those machines look like they would be really cool to have (although also maintenance-heavy).

Plus, it always drove me nuts when my elementary school sent home letters "from the Principal" and the Principal's signature had JPEG artifacts in it.
