Maybe I should stock up on thermal fax paper before they stop making it also.

There is a scene in the movie "Almost Famous" where Ben Fong Torres from Rolling Stone wants young William to send in his story using a Mojo. William asks what's a Mojo?

Ben says; "A mojo. It's a very modern machine that transmits pages over the telephone. It only takes 18 minutes a page."

LOL!

I remember at one of my first office jobs using one of those early fax machines with the thermal paper. It was so cutting edge back then, but it took forever to send or receive more than a page or two. I also recall that the thermal paper had a tendency to not lay flat and want to roll up and that the text would fade out and the whole thing would become a big grey blur and become completely illegible after a short time.
