I am the proud new owner of an Asus EEE netbook computer. I really am liking the little bugger, but I have found a small problem with it. The problem is not so much that it lacks an optical disc drive (i.e. one that takes CD, DVD and/or Blu-Ray as it is that one is actually still needed in this day and age.

This morning, my computer had a little functionality hiccup that got me wondering: why is this even possible?

This morning, while reading a post in another blog, I saw an off-the-cuff remark saying that fax machines are no longer relevant. I would like to stand in the fax machine’s defense.
