The Slowly Dying Fax
ByHenry Neufeld March 24, 2009

I was thinking about faxes yesterday because someone asked me for my fax number. Now the fact is that I removed my fax line around nine months ago, and that it had been used for nothing but receiving junk faxes for a couple of years before that. All my vendors and customers take purchase orders,…
