Hello everyone! I'm helping my uncle organize his office, and he insisted on keeping his old fax machine even though he uses email for almost everything else. He works in insurance and says it's still useful. Why would that be the case?

Hi! In fields like insurance, legal services, and finance, faxing can still be important for sending official documents. Many organizations rely on it because fax transmissions are often easier to verify and track for compliance purposes. It might seem outdated, but it can still provide an additional layer of reliability when dealing with important paperwork.
