had this machine since 1997 but by 2010 the facsimile feature was hardly used due to the vast improvement of communication technology. yet, i continued to use the machine for its phone feature until it finally broke down yesterday. took a few photos for posterity before placing it in storage
MP4-12C...who'd think of a sports-car hearing this when we're accustomed to stylish names like Gallardo, Gran Turismo, Aventador, California or Enzo.
This was another premiere-spot that day, and i think it doesn't look all to bad with this dark gray color.
TTTY 1989: Start Of My American Life - IMRAN™
Time flies. TTTY. Throwback Thursday Thirty Years ago!
Actually, I took my first selfie literally 50 years ago, before the word existed. It was taken with a Diana camera my late beloved father had given me as a nearly 7 year old. This photo was a selfie taken in my Columbia University, Manhattan, New York, apartment in 1989, thirty years ago.
You can see my interests have not changed much. A music keyboard, hooked up to the computer on my desktop running MacOS, TOS, and DOS, as needed, a joystick for flight simulators, Panasonic cordless phone and fax (which I still have in some closet in New York), and posters celebrating NY and music, are all visible.
I had sent a set of these awesome posters of New York City to my parents that year, and my Mom had them framed, and they still exist there! The Yamaha synthesizer keyboard is still part of my music studio in New York. The Samsonite briefcase in the bottom right of the photo was my Dad's favorite and he gave it to me when I had moved to the USA that year. I still keep it, also in New York. I am pretty sure the blue jeans are long gone, as is the 26 year old body (LOL). But the imagination, confidence, ambition, drive, desire, passion, zest, joy, lust for love, love for life, and gratitude still remain and grow.

“High speed taxi planes that can come and go from a giant ‘mother’ air transport at will are proposed as means of providing fast, non-stop transcontinental air service. The smaller ship, released over a city, would land at the airport to discharge and take on passengers and freight, then soar upwards again to catch up with the slower airliner.
“As may be seen from the sketch, the method of launching the taxi plane is very similar to that used by the U.S. Navy in handling pursuit planes on dirigibles. A trapeze crane lifts the small ship into the hull of the transport, where passengers may be transferred to roomy quarters on the airliner.” [From the accompanying magazine article]
Also mentioned on the cover is an article by then RCA President, David Sarnoff, titled “Television Will Carry the Mails.” In that article, Sarnoff discusses a facsimile system that transmits images, receives images and records them on paper for delivery by messenger. The images are transmitted and received using television-like technology. This was in 1935 when television itself was still in its infancy and not yet available commercially. RCA introduced commercial television to the public at the New York World’s Fair in 1939.
David Sarnoff's vision of a facsimile system, however, was way ahead of its time in 1935. While the concept of transmitting images using television-like technology was explored, the first commercial facsimile systems weren’t widely available until the 1960s. The early systems were often large, expensive, and not very reliable. It wasn't until the 1960s that more practical and affordable facsimile machines were introduced to the public.

I was sitting in the "class taught via the TV" room waiting for my online economics teacher to show up so I could let him know that I put my paper in his mailbox (the guy NEVER checks his e-mail).
I'm just wondering how that cassette tape eraser works.
I should add, the Typewriter was gone the next day. The fax/printer combo unit was trashed 2 days later. It died a gruesome death, its poor cartridge lying disembodied.
In commemoration of Tax Day in the U.S., here's some humor from the time when photocopiers and fax machines were used to share jokes.

I think the McLaren MP4-faxmachine-12C is a strange supercar, with a dull name and the design is not that spectacular.
But, it has it's own identity and it is a fantastic alternative for the german and italian supercars.
We turned off our landline this week.
When we bought our not-really-new-anymore house in summer of 2007 and called to have phone service turned on, we also asked if they could send out a tech to install a new jack for the room that would be my office. The house is 120 years old and lack of phone jacks was but one of its quirks. Turned out, though, that wasn't even the biggest phone-service-related surprise we'd encounter upon moving in.
It seems that someone in our home's long past had decided that the house didn't need a landline, would *never* need a landline, and thus, removed the cabling to the street. This is apparently not supposed to be done without some kind of official decree from the phone company, recorded in triplicate, so our poor Verizon installer, when he discovered this situation, had to call his supervisor to come out so that both of their heads could explode in unison.
Before the afternoon was over, the phone company had stopped traffic on the very busy street outside to run new cabling to our house. For all that effort, we were left with one functioning jack: the new, double-outlet one in my office. All the others in the house had had their wires cut, presumably by the same anti-phone remodeler who took the entire house off the grid at some point.
Having one jack seemed like it would be a bother, but I figured we'd get a multi-phone wireless setup, or a VOIP phone, or something. Meanwhile, the jack in my office let me set up the DSL and a fax machine, and of course we had cell phones, so it was no pressing matter to wire the rest of the house.
Nineteen months later, we still hadn't wired the rest of the house. We give out our cell numbers if someone needs to know how to reach us. When the land line rings, we generally ignore it, much as the phone company has ignored my emails asking what I can do about the multiple daily spoofed-number calls from scammers who claim to be authorized to help me lower my credit card interest rates. The only other people who call me are NARAL, the ACLU, and the local fraternal order of police, all wanting my money. Which is why I hadn't bothered to pick up voice mail messages since, oh, last July. I didn't even know what the number to call to get them was, anymore. I'd used my fax machine about three times in nineteen months---two of them in the first summer we lived here, to finalize the sale of our old house. I don't even need phone service for Internet, as our particular service is no-phone-line DSL.
I guess it took way too long to realize that there was no longer any reason to write a $62.47 check to Verizon every month.
I expected the phone company to flail and thrash about a bit when I called to break the news, and was not disappointed. Got the hard sell about how Verizon would be the only ones who could save my life if I needed to dial 911 really fast on a bad sunspots day, or something. I stood firm, if not a bit bitchy. Where was all this concern about my needs the last time I emailed their fraud department?
It doesn't matter. It's over. Our house is still wired, but we're once again off the grid. Someday it will seem adorably quaint that I thought we needed to be on it.
Update on March 7: Today's mail brought a refund check from Verizon of the credit on our account. The total? Eighty-one cents.
An abandoned fax machine lies in the stairwell before the cleaners take it away for their children to play with.
Why does HDFC Bank still insist that I fax them my address, not email?
20, 30 and 40 years long service badges issued by the ITT Creed Company of England. Each star denoted 10 years long and loyal service with the company. Creeds had two factories being at Croydon (later Hollingbury in Brighton/Hove) and at Treforest in South Wales. The badge image shows the ITT emblem, an allegory of Commerce uniting the world with a band of electricity, a reference to the company's dominance in international telegraphy.
ITT Creed Company (International Telephone & Telegraphs) were part of the ITT Corporation (US), whose headquarters are still in New York. ITT Creed of England manufactured teleprinters for use with telegraphy, telex machines and later fax machines. Creed Company was originally established Glasgow later moving to Croydon and in the mid 1960's to Hollingbury in Brighton & Hove taking over the old Underwood typewriter factory there. By 1967 there were some 1,600 employees working at Creeds, rising to over 2,000 by the early 1970’s. In 1975 the ITT Creed name was changed to Standard Telephone & Cables (STC) and remained a subsidiary of the ITT Corporation (US). During the 1980’s, developments in computer technology and communications were rendering the Teleprinter and Telex obsolete and by the mid 1980’s ITT Creed had closed (1985?), a major blow to employment in the region. The factory premises were demolished and today the site is a retail park.
Frederick George Creed (1871-1957) was the inventor of the first commercially available Teleprinter for use with telegraphy. In 1912 he set up Creed, Bille & Company of South Croydon (UK) in conjunction with the Danish telegraph engineer, Harald Bille. Following Bille’s death in a railway accident in 1916, the company was renamed Creed & Company. In 1924 the company launched its first teleprinter machine called the Model 1P and built on its commercial success to become a dominant manufacturer of telegraphy equipment in Britain. Creed & Company became part of the ITT Corporation (US) in July 1928.
In preparation for the War, in 1939 Creed built a subsidiary factory at Treforest in South Wales. Creeds carried out important wartime work for the defence forces and were renowned for their automatic bomb sights. In the event, the Croydon premise survived the war unscathed by the Luftwaffe’s bombing and continued in production when the company moved to Hollingbury.

From an old theatre programme I have for the Royal Alexandra Theatre's 1989 production of Les Miserables in Toronto.
All drawings were done by Benny Banks, locomotive engineer on the BNSF in Bellingham, WA.
Benny retired in 2007.
Ok...so Daniel & Ash plan a surprise birthday getaway weekend at her parents house while they are out of town. We had...100 shotgun shells...100 rounds of 9mm...and 200 rounds of .22 cal...and a fax machine. This is what the fax looked like before we took the guns to it. We are guessing that about 4 shotgun blast...21 rounds of .22...and 30 rounds of 9mm...is what was used. Talk about damn good video. I'll have a link later.
Actually a multipurchase Fax/Phone/Answering Machine/Scanner/Copier/Photo Printer/Wireless Network Printer.
It's pretty sweet... and only cost me $135 from HSN.
We frequently fax letters and documents to Philippines and our old one was just giving us too much trouble, so I bought this for my Mom.
E-Waste
Computers ( pc or laptop or pads) Printers ( bubble jets, Laser printers MFC's) Dish, Dish recivers, Cable boxes, macbooks, iphones, mobile phones, tv's,monitors,LCD...
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled.
With the passage of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 , certain portions of the electronic waste stream are defined and the systems to recover and recycle them will be administratively regulated beyond the universal waste rules that apply to material handling. Please review CalRecycle's efforts to implement the Act for more information.

Test shot with Nikon D700 + Carl Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro Planar T* lens, ZF.2 mount. Shot at f/4.0
The Zeiss MP 100/2 is a wonderful lens to photograph “things” – anything big or small that is reasonably static, so accurate focusing and creative composition are possible. Its 100mm focal length provides a very nice reach, its fast f/2 allows available light shooting for natural looks, and its macro capability allows getting very close to the subjects.
I don’t think I’ve had so much fun shooting up a wide variety of “things”, including and not limited to such things as Coffee, Cauliflower, Books, Paintings, Clocks, Sculptures, Rocks, Crystal, Shoes, Pens, Fax machines, ChapSticks, Coins, Watches and Thumbtacks.

Or, rather, why pay $1 a page at Kinko's when you can just take a photo, save to pdf, and send it as an attachment?
Fax machine, hooked up to my second phone line. (The DSL line), a handy tray for pens, pencils, tape, stapler, and other general "office" supplies, just a few books I have (Out of more than is here), and of course, my Ryo-Oh-Ki plushie I got about 13 years ago.
There's still more work to be done in here.
