A client of mine just Faxed me a website he wanted me to check out. Instead of just sending me the link, he went to the site, printed off a wack of pages then faxed the printouts to me. Wha'dya think of that?

It's similar to how my Dad gets weather reports - he phones up his secretary when he's not in the office, gets her to surf to bbc online, print out the weather, and then fax it to him.
He has internet at home. And he lives in Spain, where it rarely frigging rains..

why dont you call him up and say "hey, instead of wasting my fax toner, next time just fax me the web address - or better still, put it in the post"
see if he gets it.

i would send him a fax back. every letter on a single a4 page. and even if it costs you 30 bucks for faxing, just make it over your pc.... thats it!!!!#
your last sencence shoudl be: faxed with ms word 4.0 so you can blame gates and keep your face straight... (mo o less)

sorry, but happy to see that there are clients more stupid that mines!
a business client of my company had a high speed internet connection but he was conecting the whole computers of the company to a modem, an old 56k modem.
but thats story is not as crappy as the fax!
hahahahaha...

It's true. For some bizarre reason, over 40s loves the friggin fac machine.
My dad thinks the fax is so cool - "I'll fax him this / Tell him to fax me that"
I guess it makes them feel very important - very legal eagle.

yes it makes them feel really important. but on the other side they are worhtless shit when it comes to send a mail.

and: in my old comp, a "user" used the fax and always (!!) left his sheets in there... once it was a "wanna-find-a-girlfriend-ad" for himself, something like "i am 28, slim, black hair.... if you wanna meet me..... blablabla". as i gave him the sheet with watered eyes(i laughed til tears run out of...), i explained "no, you have to take it back". no joke, he answered (in 1997!!!!): "its not travelling trough the phone line?!"

Actually this reminds of a time when I working at a travel company (back in London) and there was this Lebanese(??!!) woman with a really thick accent.
Well you know in the travel biz you're always using the fax machine to send documents and shit - so she would always be telling her clients
"I'll Fux You!. No vorry darling, I'll Fux You!"
Pissed meself everytime.
Note: I tried to phonetically write what I heard - this being the word FAX said with a strong middle-eastern accent becomes very close to FU*KS. I thank you.
