Legitimately, it would work better. I could bulk fax Skills to each of the branch offices on Monday afternoon in preparation for the AI teleconference bridge meeting at 8AM. They can fax back any suggested improvements on Friday.

Because the thermal paper fades you would need freshly faxed Skills every few weeks or the turbo encabulator would misfeed when they were loaded. In fact, I'd have the local steno pool ladies feed in a weekly fax with authorisation codes for each Skill, and without that it just wouldn't load.

Y2K technology for the win.
