There’s no kiyum to typing on a computer screen. It isn’t “really” there. On the disk it’s just a pattern of magnetism, and on the monitor it’s just a pattern of chemical dots which have been momentarily activated by an electron beam.
For the same reason, there is no problem of ????? if you write ???? online, because it is nothing and does not count as writing. So if you write the ?? ???, you would be allowed to delete it.
[Somebody once told me that even if you argue and hold that it is called ?????, one would be permitted to delete it, because everything deleted leaves a trace than can be undeleted with the right software.
I said that if there would be a problem, the problem would be minimizing it, not deleting it [because every time it comes onto the screen it is recreated; i don’t think it is ‘stored invisibly’ on the taskbar. But I am not sure]
BUT printing out is another matter. Then it has a kiyum, like anything written or typed on a machine. I don’t print anything out unless it’s a davar ha-eved or a need for the chag (e.g. grocery list).
Then it has a kiyum, like anything written or typed on a machine – Er – didn’t you just say that something typed on a machine has no kiyum?
And I am not sure if that will be a problem – printing is only a ???? – you push a button and it sends an image to the printer and sets the ink running… is it not like asking a goy to write for you ? You aren’t writing it yourself!
