Dear Office Technology,

[akujunkan]

I just attempted to make 765,650,899 copies of a four-page document, not realising that my office fax machine also has a 'copy' setting.

To my credit, the machine had only spit out four of the 3,062,603,596 potential copies before I realised something was not quite going according to plan. It took another five copies before I located the stop/reset button for its copy (as opposed to fax) function.

Which, when you think about it, means that I probably hold the city hall record for lowest ratio of dud copies to successes. I mean, 9/3,062,603,596? That's probably a fraction to the negative 20th or 30th power of ten we're talking about here. What gets me is that there are no less than four perfectly good copy machines standing right next to the fax box. Why's it got to be putting on copy airs anyway?


That will be all.

Do they still make fax machines that aren't multifunction boxes?

I suppose the pertinent question should be, why don't they?

If it can't multitask, it is not worthy. ;)
