PYW Asks: Do you still use a fax machine?
Pimp Your Work Asks: Do you still use a fax machine? How about your company? How often do you fax? Do you think it’s old technology that’s on its way out?
To participate, simply answer the question in the comments.

heck no, but my printer will also fax and it seems like about once a year I have a client who insists I fax a contract rather than email one… and for those who must fax me I have an efax number… fax is dumb imo
No. There’s a fax line that feeds into my work email. Occasionally, people will send something via fax. The fax is mostly used by people who don’t understand how to use the printers to scan things at work.
YES – we fax all kinds of medical reports and receive the same. It’s secure, quick and doesn’t require a lot of technology on both ends of the line. I think you’ll find one in every doctors office still.

I don’t fax, and I would rather not have to deal with faxes from other people.
Fax is a technology whose time has gone. Put the fax machine with your rotary dial phone and your cassette recorder.
A woman at Mayo Clinic told me they were not allowed to use email for patient records. The clinic seems to believe that faxing is more secure. This creates a problem for some one like me who doesn’t like to use fax and sends one only when he has to. I’ve violate all their security rules by using a net-based fax service.
