Lines: 23 |On a humorous side note: A friend told me a good solution to the junk Fax |would be to take the ad, photocopy it a few times, then paste the ads end to |end. Call up the person who sent you the ad (his FAX), and feed the long |sheet of ads into your fax. When the end comes out of your fax, paste it |to the other end. Send an endless loop of the ad back to the advertizer, |and run out all his paper. :-) Only I'm sure the advertiser has a PC sitting on his desk with a fax board, and would either not have it set to receive, or be constantly busy sending out faxes so you would never get through. In any case, he wouldn't be using up *any* paper; at worst, waste some disk space. BTW it seems to me that anybody can get into this business of junk faxes. All you need is a PC and a fax board. And a phone number list. -Tom -- w ["] | Thomas M.
