Facsimiles

'Fax' is a cool word. Why did we waste it on such a stupid technology? I think it's very telling that faxes are the only form of long distance communication ever invented that never attracted a geekish/hacker following. There is nothing interesting or aesthetic about the technology. There is only suck.

It's not amusing when you get 5 or 6 fax spams a day. They're using up resources, which is why it's illegal in the US. My office is signed up with one of those companies that goes after and sues fax spammers for free.
