Yay, I am so delighted to find out that I am not the only idiot that thought a piece of paper went in to the fax, de-materialised (like on Star Trek) and re formed again at the other end.

The cops were sending an identikit picture of a criminal to another state - I was convinced that it was only a matter of time before people would travel this way!!
