Loved the reflection on the history of fax. Although this was a relatively low residual product it offered a new way to get in the door. In the 80's, I would follow the fed ex delivery driver who often was delivering some printed pages (agenda's, schedules, documents) that needed to be there next day or sooner. It was an ear opener when you tell them you can them there next minute without the $12.00 fedex charge. Using afterhours timing for reducing long distance charges helped separate...

@John Saramak now that's a cool plan! Follow the fedex driver, wish I could have thought of that one. Could only image how much more successful we could have been in the eighties if we were able to share information like this. Hope all is well with you!

Go ahead, you can do it, no one will see you. It's ok to hug your fax, if you still have one.   Funny, just today, I was at an office and they told me about one of their principals that was still using a computer with a 3.5 floppy drive. He...

TOKYO -- The sale of Toshiba 's memory chip arm is stuck in a long-running review from Chinese antitrust authorities, making it unlikely that the deal will close before the end of March as originally planned. Although meeting the deadline is no longer vital to the parent's survival, the delay could fuel opposition among shareholders...

Leo Lewis and Kana Inagaki in Tokyo yesterday Earlier this month, after nearly three straight years of nasty surprises, one of Japan’s top analysts on Toshiba asked the company to explain a basic issue about the planned sale of its key asset, but received a blunt response. “We do not proactively disclose that information,” he was told. The company, a 143-year-old conglomerate at the heart of Japan’s supposedly reforming industrial economy, had apparently learnt nothing from a crisis that was...

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2021 / The shift to remote working requires the use of digital records to be productive and efficient. Yet, converting paper-based files to electronic ones has been challenging for many organizations, especially for those that did not begin the process before the pandemic.
