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.

I love faxes. I also love that I receive faxes by email, so I can keep them in electronic form. I hate snail mail, and I do not trust the post office.
