one could also use a fax service like maxemail to send and receive faxes. I think K7 is free.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All of the faxes I need to send are of signed documents. Once I have them digitally I usually have the option (and I avail myself of it) to email it anyway.

Yeah, my entire office is VOIP and our fax machines still work.
So is ours, but all our faxes come to us electronically via email anyway, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, but even then you can scan into the computer and fax digitally from there. Assuming you can scan. That's how I fax right now, because I have the multifunction machine, but no longer have VOIP, and as mentioned, no land line. So I just convert the paper doc to digital, and then scan from there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We used to have that, but apparently it cost too much (everyone in the company had their own fax #) so we went back to the old fashioned way. Which is silly because we're also under a semi-paperless decree which means every time we receive a fax that's not spam, we scan it to PDF and throw away (well, recycle) the paper. Not very green at all.

Hey, is it possible that my mouse is dying? For months now my computer has said that it can't recognize it which has made using it frustrating but I have been able to use it but this week it may have reached some new low.
I was assuming that my computer not recognizing the USB device was due to the failing battery (I was unable to crack open my tower) - so have been ignoring it but perhaps all I need to do is replace the mouse.
What do you think?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Can you borrow a mouse from a friend to test the theory for free. If that works you can return it and buy a new one. If you can't borrow mice are cheap, and it is handy to have a spare.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My old (2005) iBook G4 seems like it might be giving up the ghost -- I can't get it to boot past the grey screen (plain grey, no Apple logo). I tried booting from the install CD, but it stayed grey and just looked at me.
I have a Genius Bar appt. for tomorrow, and I'm assuming a new computer is in my future, but until then -- any ideas?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you hold down Command-V while powering on, you can watch your Mac boot in verbose mode. I doubt it will have anything enlightening to say, though.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hopefully it will be something as simple as a motherboard battery, Teppy. Crossing my fingers.
That being said, if it does give up the ghost they should be able to transfer the data from the old one.
Usual self-serving note: As always should anyone's Macbook, iBook or Powerbook turn out to be a goner, I would be interested in acquiring such items for tinkering/learning purposes.
