User-interface people take note:
The stupid fax machine here has only one volume setting "LOUD SO EVERYBODY CAN HEAR IT" and lets you listen while it dials, polls and handshakes with the other fax when it picks up. However, it does not allow you to cancel a job when "The number (beeep) you have dialed is not in service (beeep). Please check (beeep) your number and try your (beeep) call again. Le (beeep) numero composé n'est (beeep) pas en service...." I'm sure you can imagine how annoying (and embarrassing) that can be.
At least I sleep soundly at night knowing it is "Y2K Compliant".
