Sorry but as shameful and embarrassing (and kind of funny) the situation is, the article doesn’t mention anything from typewriters and fax.

- dewey 7y agoI got confused by that too but it's explained in the original discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21435833 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21435833
- cerebellum42 7y agoIt doesn't say in this article, but I read about this a while ago and in that article it said some judges or clerks had gone to typewriters. Wrong title for this article I suppose, but not incorrect.
- arghwhat 7y agoI find using Win95 on a network, as well as their entire attitude towards and neglect of theirs tools (for which IT is one) to be embarrassing, but I honestly find nothing wrong with going back to a typewriter (or an offline computer). Why deal with the implications of an online system when you can just... not do that? An online system is a liability.
