(Koenig, RISKS-24.80) Andrew Koenig's story of a bank transaction he couldn't prove it occurred illustrates the need for keeping logs (including voting records) in a human-accessible format. I always print the transaction's final screen when I perform an electronic payment. I never analyzed why I needed to do that, it just seemed right to me. Banks, which have lot of experience in keeping track of money, keep a paper trail for all their transactions: they have me sign paper slips in duplicate at the teller, and even the ATM has a second printer in its housing logging all transactions on a paper roll. Reports regarding the demise of paper are greatly exaggerated.
