Did that as well or sometimes would take several sheets of paper that I had done a sky shot with a copier and then looped them together...lol

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...

Six months into its financial crisis, Toshiba is shaping up as the Sistine Chapel of corporate catastrophes: you have to lie on your back to appreciate its scale, and once you get your eye in, the beauty is mesmerising.It is also a picture that, to committed contrarians and true believers in corporate governance reform, whispers “buy Japan”. At the very least, Toshiba stands to give the Tokyo stock market a new note from which everything else will in future be tuned.Toshiba’s mess is...

Japan's Toshiba (NASDAQOTH: TOSBF) has filed a fresh lawsuit against U.S. storage giant Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) . The suit, filed in Tokyo District Court, centers on Toshiba Memory Corporation, a 50-50 joint venture operated by the two companies. Toshiba has been attempting to sell the unit on its own in order to help shore up a damaged balance sheet. It selected a buyer, a consortium of Japan's Innovation Network Corporation, Bain Capital Private Equity, and Development Bank of Japan.

As the $18 billion sale of Toshiba Corp's memory chip unit to a government-approved consortium falters, some bankers and potential investors are pressing the board to seriously consider alternatives, people with direct knowledge of the sale process said - including picking a new buyer. Those people say Toshiba's leadership is sticking to Plan A: selling the world's second-largest memory chip maker to a Japanese government-backed group that also includes Bain Capital. But the clock is ticking...

Tokyo — Toshiba, whose sale of its chip unit is being challenged in court by manufacturing partner Western Digital, has agreed to delay closing the deal until a hearing on July 28.

The Superior Court of California suggested the companies work on...

TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp ( 6502.T ) said it resumed blocking access by Western Digital Corp ( WDC.O ) to data at their memory chip joint venture, intensifying its dispute with the U.S. firm over the Japanese company's planned sale of the chip business. Toshiba is counting on the sale of the chip business to cover billions of dollars in cost overruns at its now bankrupt U.S. nuclear unit Westinghouse, while Western Digital says any deal would require its consent. Toshiba allowed Western...

But it has struggled to close a 2 trillion yen ($18 billion) deal with the group it previously chose as preferred bidder —a consortium including...

Western Digital has fighting words for partner Toshiba as the Japanese company considers selling its chip unit to another suitor. San Jose-based Western Digital has been pursuing exclusive discussions with Toshiba to purchase its chip unit.

By Makiko Yamazaki | TOKYO TOKYO Western Digital Corp ( WDC.O ) has sought international arbitration to stop partner Toshiba Corp ( 6502.T ) from selling its chips arm without its consent, potentially derailing a much-needed capital injection for the Japanese conglomerate.

Toshiba attempts to sell-off its valuable memory business have hit yet another roadblock. After months of legal wrangling with its partner Western Digital, a California Court has now ordered Toshiba to give Western Digital access to joint-venture assets that it was previously withholding. The Superior Court of California granted motion for preliminary injunctive relief made by Western Digital subsidiary SanDisk, allowing it access to certain information stored on databases owned by Toshiba.

JAPANESE tech giant Toshiba met yet another roadblock in its efforts at finding an outside investor for its multibillion-dollar microchip business last week. After weighing its options anew, the Asian tech giant ultimately failed yet another self-imposed deadline to complete what is estimated to be a US$17 – US$18 billion dollar deal .

Toshiba needs to sell the chip unit to plug a giant hole in its finances caused by the failure of the conglomerate's U.S. nuclear business, but the deal has snagged on such issues as antitrust concerns if the U.S. disk-drive maker were a major owner. To help close the deal, California-based...
