The other day I got an email returned with a reply. Except it was a handwritten reply and the answerer had printed off my email, written his answer on it and faxed it back. It's folks like that who are ensuring that fax machines continue to clog our lives - pushing up usage 40% in the last year alone.

When will the fax machines die off joining the Gestentner, mother of all 'zines, itself now hiding its own toxic legacy.
