1843 and all that

Did you know the fax machine was patented in 1843?

I have just wasted two hours faxing companies that refuse to allow copies of documents to be e-mailed to them. instead they insist on a fax which they then scan on to a computer so they can deal with it by which point it is usually illegible. AAAARGH!!!
