We are talking about two different things here. Yes, they both
just treat the fax as a printer. BUT WFWG will auto recognise
that it sees another WFWG at the other end, and send the file
as a normal binary file to the other end if it does. No farting
around with OCRing it back to a text file etc at the receiving
end in that case. Totally transparently to the use.

THATs very elegant for a droid.

Sure, I didnt mean that he was just doing an Arfur, Arfur
appears to have none at all. Both John and Andrew do
appear to have woken up eventually to what was going on.

Tho I notice the Macedonian managed to go totally incandescent with
rage. Very amusing to see what reaction he got in Z3_Tech too |-)

BG> Yep, and you see the same thing with Lewin and his Rockwell zealot mates.

RS> Yeah, havent seen such florid conspiracy theory stuff for quite a while.

Yeah, great spectator sport |-)

RS> Still, we are getting better, not too many people sacrificed their

BG> Wish Russell's parents had sacrificed him though. Not too late is it? |-)

RS> Yeah, still havent quite worked out what flavor of FRZ they are.

BG> Presbyterian or Lutheran is my guess, possibly the former.  What's yours?

Dunno. At once time I thought they might even be jewish with a last name
like that, they can be extremely florid in the ultra orthodox, but thats
since become clear its totally wrong. There was some support for that quite
stupid stuff the pope came out with lately on the new sins, which made me
wonder if it was even catholic.

Short story is that I dunno.
