Great-great-grandpa marveled at the dots and dashes beeping down the telegraph line. Great-grandma couldn’t believe that train whizzing across the silent screen, just as real as you please. Grandpa never forgot his first look at color TV - and Mom, well, the first time she sent a fax at Kinko’s she was surprised to get her original back. How can the same piece of paper be in two places at once?

It’s no wonder people wondered at these wondrous wonders, but they’re yesteryear’s news now. We talk with our voices, not with dots and dashes. Our movies talk, too. And faxes? No thanks, not when we’ve got PDFs and email and FTP and all the rest of it.

What’s that? You don’t understand that last sentence? Then let us present to you the miracle of analog document transfer with the Hewlett Packard Fax 1240 Inkjet Fax/Phone/Copier. Insert your hog-feed bill, forged diploma, or gonorrhea test results into the slot, dial the number for the fax machine you wish to send it to, and presto! A lifelike copy will leap out of the fax machine on the other end! But not so lifelike that anyone will be able to tell which parts you whited out and altered!

No need to mess around with weird, scary “fax paper”, either, on accounta this uses “regular paper” (please forgive the technical jargon). What’s more, your HP Fax 1240 will also make copies that are yours to keep. We visionary futur-o-philes call this “photocopying”. And it’s also a phone. And a paperweight. If you’re setting up an office in your home in 1991, you simply cannot do better than the Hewlett Packard Fax 1240 Inkjet Fax/Phone/Copier.
