Fax or repair daily

[muckefuck]

Oh, and just as an aside to all the dealing with real estate agents, attorneys, mortgage companies, insurance companies, and so forth we've been doing over the past several weeks, I'd like to ask one question:

What is this word "fax" they like to use?

I'm sorry, I'm a "digital migrant" like the rest of them--so is monshu, and he's older than EDVAC--and we never, ever, think of sending a fax if there is any other alternative--which there almost always is, because HELLO WE'RE LIVING IN THE COMPUTER AGE.

I understand that e-signatures are still not widely-accepted and so sometimes you need a facsimile of the original print document. But, lordy, people, buy a goddamn scanner already. Fuckin' $80 at Best Buy. Your seat cushion cost more than that.

And if it's not something like a signed contract, why are you even resorting to 1970s technology at all? What do you mean, you don't have an electronic version? What do you have, letters carved into a stone tablet by a bird? Are we living in the fucking Flintstones? Honestly!
