Free Range by Bill Whitehead for December 28, 2020

The “facts” of the matter are forthcoming.

It’s true. Facsimile machines are the work of the devil.

If it’s a multifunction printer that works like a fax, does that make it a fax simile?

as joe friday always said, ‘just the fax, ma’am…’

Do they even have those, anymore?

I spent many years working with a computer system by Digital. It was a Vax.

Fax? We don’t need no stinkin’ fax!

Does anyone else remember the days when Xerox (eXerocks) was difficult to pronounce?

Older white male, the disappearing base of the repugnant party. (Deliberately drawn overweight and wearing a red tie?)

Real ad: “If you’re looking to ditch your old fax machine, call Legal Shred to destroy it properly.”

Same stupidity, different cause.

When I bought my printer I got a half price deal on one with a built-in fax. I hadn’t sent a fax in about 19 years, so it was a surprise that they are even still made.

It’s luck then that they are rapidly going the way of the DoDo …

There’s always someone ANTI- something! I’m sick of The Whole thing already! Get a life!

Bah dum Tishhhhhh!

True that.. in days of old there would be a bevy of scribes with quills a flying.

Many government office still have fax machines and the minions there may not have access to the official agency email if there is one, or the email won’t allow attachments due to security fears. I have learned that the best way to get a document to the person who can help you is often to print it and then fax it. Unfortunately our fax machine broke and we switched to VOIP which can’t fax.

When I had doctor’s papers to send to my insurance a couple years ago, the options were email or fax. I could have gone to Staples to fax. Previous experience with my financial planner showed a photo produced unsatisfactory results. I found a good free photo to pdf I used with my iPad that solved it all. (no connection to them except as user)

Fax, Sancho, are the enemy of truth.
