That ain't going to be cheap

Just a random thought. I just faxed a two-page document to Hong Kong. Thankfully, it was on the company dime, but I can only imagine what it cost.

It took me a while to figure out how to dial it properly. When I did it the first time, I dialed it wrong. I quietly heard screaming in a foreign language on the other end after they heard the fax tone coming from my end. Needless to say, I got it right the 2nd time.

Anyway, carry on...

You mean they still have fax machines? Woah, like totally retro man...

It was something that needed a signature for a credit card transaction, and in many places (I think the US included) a fax is legally binding while if I were to e-mail him a scanned signed copy, it wouldn't be.
