What have you bought for very little money that makes you think you've got away with something?

(although, it is one of the old thermal paper jobs, so who am I foolin'?)

yeah I was about to say, how up-to-date is a simple fax machine? ;)

I know. Obv. I have a computer that has fax capability and I have a scanner, so all I've accomplished is haveing another big box that takes up space and does only one thing (and does it on thermal paper). And yet...

The fax machine is a metaphor for my existence. A big outmoded box that does only one thing. That one thing can be imagined. I'm not telling.

I bought a reel-to-reel recorder the other day for AUD$9 which I thought was pretty awesome.

i bought a fax/copy machine at a thrift store once, but the BULB was broken and replacement bulbs were scarce for that model.

Surely all yr friends need to have fax machines too before it's any use?

Hey, someone's got to be the early adopter.

I think the fax machine should become the new hipster lifestyle accessory.

Skottie must be feeling exactly like Alexander Graham Bell did after he invented the telephone, "This is great, now I can phone up my mates any time I feel like going to the boozer............. fuck!"

the only thing that sucks about most faxes is that they feed paper so you can't fax boobs/arse directly.

Now that I've got a fax, I have to invent the network effect.
