| I hate the word fax, I hate faxing stuff I hate reccieving faxes, I hate everything about fax machines. I say that word like 3 times in a row(out loud) and it starts to seem like it isn't even a word anymore. Does anyone ever fax anything? Faxing seems like its been around for almost as long as the phone and is like... useless to almost everyone in the world. I remeber when my dad was living in California, I had to fax him my homework so that he could check over it. I hate how faxers are impossible to set up, its nearly impossible to get the fax, the phone and dial-up internet all set up and working in one room. Then, when you try to send someone a "fax" they have to hang up the phone, turn on the faxer, and then like set the piece of shit machine to recieve a fax. Then, you type in thier number, hit "send". 3 seconds later the guy your sending it to's phone starts ringing, he has to let it ring for the fax machine to pick it up, little does he know his wife is up staires, she picks up the phone, and I can hear her voice in my fax machine as she swaers into the phone because of the obnoxious "K$wriuqw4h fiw3u yt934t98yarlituh3q94" noise that she is hearing. So then the guy that you are sending it to is waiting there, still thinks it goona come. You call him back but he doesnt pick up because he thinks its you sending the fax again because it didnt work the first time. So the phone rings 23 times, the retarded fax machine finally picks it up so the guy you are sending it to can hear your voice saying "Hey You there?" in his fax machine!(between all of this the dial-up internet and phone line you have is completely useless and you always get that fucking dialing tone) So then you hang up on his fax machine cause you cant hear him but he can hear you. So your friend decides he is going to call you back, while you think you might as well try him to send the fax again, so you send the fax, and he picks up the phone just in time to get the "jhnalw4io8rn l4u thbw9p48ht p9834htp" noise and he thinks his phone line is now busted because he couldnt dial out. After an 30min. of that shit you and him are both doone with it and one of oyu decides you going to call the other, you finally decide that you will upload the document you were sending and he will chekc it out on the internet. The lesson in this story. Internet works, Faxers and Faxes DONT WORK! ............ Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it? |

| It's good for sending documents to consulates, etc. People that don't use the internet and the only other option would be snail mail. -=Lohrno |

| I'm using a fax machine today to send my tuition form and my SAT scores to the admissions office at the College of William and Mary because they won't make it by the deadline for Early Decision if I use snail mail. |

| Alright, this is magical. My dad actually came downstaires and told me that he was going to get a fax as soon as my mom got off the phone. So I'm sitting here waiting for the magic to begin. The phone rings, my mom starts running through the house telling everyone "DONT PICK UP THE PHONE, ITS A FAX!" So I get up and do what my dad told me to do, hit the "Fax" button on the printer/fax machine. I get to the printer/faxer and the little "Fax" button is blinking, so i hit it. The ringing stops... nothing else happens. We wait... Nothing happens. We wait another 5 min. The phone starts ringing again. We dont know what to do, pick it up and hope its the person calling or wait and see if the fax mashine gets it on its own... We wait about 20 rings and decide since the answering machine isnt getting then it must be a fax. A few seconds later (about 23 rings now) we start to hear the fax machine ringin (before it was just the phone). So we think we are getting somewhere with this... We arent, the ringing stops and we sit there for a min. or 2 and then the phone rings again! but my mom decides to pick it up... Now she is talking on the phone upstaires, we never did recieve that horrid fax... And to Mscgamer: Good luck! You will definatly need it. ............
