Should you keep that old Selectric typewriter or let it go?

Electric typewriters are mostly long gone, but you might have an arsenal of other gadgets that should be put out to pasture. But how do you know whether or not that 12-year old fax machine should be replaced? The June issue of Texas REALTOR® offers some food for thought: "Most items that end up being faxed are created as electronic documents. Why turn them into hard copies?" And on the other hand, "it’s still easier to handle documents that require signatures via fax; it’s a one-step process versus scanning and e-mailing a signed document." An all-in-one device for scanning, printing, and faxing might be an option. The Texas REALTOR® article gives the same why-keep-it/why-replace-it treatment to landline phones, pagers, and two other devices.
