'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.

These day, scans on my co's copier auto-email to my workstation that I then forward to other folks' email works pretty damn well.

Other than that whole arbitrary size limit on email attachments causing problems occasionally.
