Retro or no-go, send an email fax

Posted by Kevin Phillips on Friday, January 28, 2011 · 1 Comment 

A quick one, to be filed under strange but true for sure.  I received an email today from a company offering me a service which transfers any email into a fax in real time and sends it out.  Wow.  Sure it’s possible this email was actually sent from the 1980′s when faxes were as popular as Teen Wolves and Charlie Sheen, but really?

Quite often we’re asked by disinterested call centre staff, the ones given the onerous task of “checking your information for our database”, if we have a fax number, to which we usually respond “no, we have email these days”.

Just the thought of the mangled mess someone would receive if sent a HTML email through their fax machine makes me shudder.  What next?  Is someone going to offer a service to conveniently transfer all my mp3s to wax cylinder?
