Who the hell uses a fax?

Another thought: in 2019, how do people not understand how an abacus works.

Why do you still have a fax machine?

Fax machines are used because they are a secure means of transmitting PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Transmitting it via email or email scan that information can be compromised if a server is hacked.

Are you people serious?
We fax medical records and prescriptions all day long.
You realize how long it would take to scan that shite and then email said shite?

We make our assistant fax stuff for us.

In 2019, why are fax machines even a thing?

This. Good god this.

When I worked in construction we started to try to shift bid submissions from subs to email and away from fax. Most bids were due at 2pm and every time the fax machine would spit out faxed in bids from subs until about 2:15 as all these people would try to send their bids to us at the last possible minute. The excuses I’d get from people as to why they “didn’t trust email” ranged from absurd to just plain stupid.
