What kind of 12 year old smartphone addict shit is this, that thinks fax machines, paper copies, cash and floppies are bad things?

Fax machines are such bad things though.

Faxes and egregiously copying temporary things to paper are the worst.

Sorry, I just worked in a community computer center where people wasted so much paper trying to print stupid things from websites, and were forced to send 80 pages to their lawyers/government/propertylords/whatever, through a dial-up connection in terrible black and white, for $1.00 a page.

It took like 5 seconds per page and to actually send took between 5-20 minutes. . .if it didn't just error out and force you to start over.

The worst nonsense is forcing people to download and print some 50 page agreement just so they can sign two pages and fax it back. That should be a jailable offense lol.

Cash and paper can stay.

Can we PLEASE just make normie-friendly email encryption so faxes can die for good though?!

I noticed you mentioned fax twice. Sorry if you're a paper company rep or something. I'm just speaking from a place of pain lol.

With that much hassle, mailing them the document back and forth would be a better way.
