I remember that song on Mtv back in the day "J Phil killed the fax machine star." Kinda brings a tear to my eye.

I imagine we've all wanted to do that with one of those, or a laptop, or a cell phone, at some point in our real estate careers!

Phil - Loved the title and the photo! Now you have to tell us what you replaced it with. I'm still using my fax machine, but primarily to scan into my computer fax, so I can send a PDF. I really need a sheet fed scanner. My flatbed scanner is too time consuming.

You are going to love scanning! We did an exorcism of our two fax machines about two years ago and I love being fax-free! Love the photo.

J. Philip - Love it. Fax machines are so frustrating. I don't know why the banks still use them.

I had a crappy fax machine kill a deal once. Then we went to litigation, then the ultimate buyer hired me to lease it out and I made more in leasing commissions than I did on the sale.
I wanted to kill that fax machine early on. Later I wanted to put it on a shrine!
