Thanks to everyone who joined our first Webinar this past Wednesday. It was great having you. I hope to do many more of these in the future.<\/p>\n

I was reading The New York Times<\/em> last week and came across this article, \u201cIn Hi-Tech Japan, the Fax Machine Rolls On.\u201d You can find the article here. <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been to Japan, and can\u2019t remember the last time I wrote about fax machines, but the headline intrigued me and I couldn\u2019t resist reading. The only time fax comes up these days is when I\u2019m talking to dealers about what\u2019s hot and what\u2019s not. Occasionally, one will laughingly tell me that fax is not hot. No kidding.<\/p>\n

Then I read this article and if what I\u2019m reading is true, the fax machine is still a hot item in Japan. TWII has a fair amount of Japanese readers and readers who work for Japanese companies, obviously, so this may not be news to them. But it was to me. Maybe I ought to start ramping up my fax coverage in The Week in Imaging<\/em>. Then again, maybe not.<\/p>\n

Finally, don\u2019t forget I\u2019d like to hear your recommendations for individuals to be included in TWII\u2019s Top 40 Most Influential People in the Imaging Industry. These can be individuals who have made a significant contribution to their organizations and\/or the industry as a whole. I\u2019ll be presenting the Top 40 in May.<\/p>\n
