...communicate from Sint Maarten/Saint Marten, the half-Dutch, half-French Caribbean island. Coming here to escape the cataclysm foretold in the top new movie, 2012, backfired. The seas did not rise to swallow up the island, but my laptop did go kaput. Will my report get out via fax or iPhone? If you're reading this, the answer is yes. If not, then 2012 may have arrived three years early...
...precious few substantive arguments but oppose health-care reform mostly because passage would help Barack Obama's political prospects. In 1993, when the Clintons tried health-care reform, the Republican John Chafee offered a creative (in fact, superior) alternative - which Kristol quashed with his famous "Don't Help Clinton" fax to the troops. There is no Republican health-care alternative in 2009. The same people who rail against a government takeover of health care tried to enforce a government takeover of Terri Schiavo's end-of-life decisions. And when Palin floated the "death panel" canard, the number of prominent...
Like other journalists who work for foreign media organizations, I was banned early on from reporting on the protests against the official victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

(In addition to personal updates and interesting articles, caregivers can send reminders about doctors' appointments and family functions.) Celery charges $13.98 a month to send and receive (color printouts of) e-mails - as well as Facebook and Twitter updates - via a fax machine, which costs $119 if you don't already own one. Presto - to which, full disclosure, my husband and I were early adopters, each of us having bought a machine for one of our grandmothers two-plus years ago - is basically a color printer that dials into a server...
...Sunnygram goes back to even more basics. "Our users are not technophiles, which is why they are interested in Sunnygram," says co-founder Matt Ahart, "so it seems inconvenient to burden them with having to set up and maintain fax equipment." Along with individualized newsletters, which are basically a compendium of all e-mails and photos sent to a person's account that week, Sunnygram subscribers get a self-addressed stamped envelope. They can hand-write replies and mail them to the company, which scans and e-mails the notes to the right people. Or they can call a toll...
