Email hasn't killed them off entirely...

Despite the rise of email and the internet, the good old fax still has an important part in business communications, according to recent research.
A survey commissioned by business communications firm Equisys has revealed that faxing is still very much in fashion. Important business documents, such as account details and job offers, are still being sent via fax.
What's more, 15 per cent of respondents even admitted to sending a letter of resignation by fax, while some cheeky individuals said they have used the office fax machine to send CVs and applications for new jobs.
Despite new technologies which enable individual users to send and receive faxes via their PC, a massive 80 per cent of respondents still get out of their seats and walk to a central office fax machine.
