Thank Goodness For Computers!



I was sending a fax around 5 o'clock this afternoon and I thought that it would be a good thing to blog about this simply because being able to fax something at 5 in the afternoon on a Sunday is something that I am grateful to be able to do!

First of all I can remember a time when I had to fax something to my mortgage company a few years ago - maybe it was longer than that! I didn't have access to a fax machine at home plus those little printing shops were no where near me so I looked in the yellow pages and found this place that sends faxes for people at quite a hefty fee! But I had no choice because that was my only option at the time!

But now I am able to send a fax any time of the day or not and if I'm feeling really creative I can "mess" around with the fax to edit it and make it look different in all sorts of ways!

I have quite a few fax programs on my computer. Of course I have the fax program that came with Windows and I also have a fax program called WinFax - which is a great fax program! I also found this site online where you can get a free phone number and people from anywhere in the world can leave you either a voice message or send you a fax using that phone number! I also found another great site online where you can send a fax anywhere in the United States for free! They also have a paid version but with the free version you are only allowed to send one fax per day and the fax that you do send will have their advertisement on it - small price to pay to be able to fax long distance without having to pay a long distance fee!

I also have a fax program that came with my Lexmark-All-In-One and this is the program that I used to send my most recent fax!

I'm also able to pay my bills online but that's another blog post for another time - LOL!
