I think Vint Cerf correctly observed in one of his IEEE NETWORK columns 
that fax enjoys the advantage of using the addressing and connectivity of 
the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Much as email does all of these neat things for me, the addressing and connectivity are not near that of the PSTN.  Thus, I still have to send hard copy to the "rest" of the world.  
And still, I like having hard copy to "review and edit" rather than the paperless VDT review.
