Sales of old steam fax machines have risen by as much as 25 percent during
the postal strike, according to PC World.
Scanner sales have also be 20 percent up, apparently to allow people to send
documents as email attachments rather than trusting to the post.
Niall O'Keeffe, marketing director at PC World, said: "We'd thought that
faxes were heading for extinction with the advent of broadband, but the recent
industrial action has caused us to think twice. The fax is a simple and reliable
technology that can get messages across with a minimum of fuss."
Both sides in the postal strike have been accused of risking the Post
Office's future by driving more business to email and other electronic
communication.
