Damn, there's a paper jam in the fax machine again

Sadly, fax machines are very much still in use ....

There's a disturbing number of places that still use fax machines. They won't let you scan things and send it via e-mail, it has to be faxed. I deal with it a lot filling out my medical paperwork.

"Can I borrow that VHS?"

20 years ago it would have been DVDs. But even before that, we didn't call them "VHS"es. We called them tapes, or video tapes if we wanted to distinguish from audio tapes.
