You can't email me 50 colour photocopies of this document I need to send
out this afternoon;

No, but when I'm out working around the country I regularly use VPN to
print 50 or more copies of reports on the workgroup colour printer in
the office. Then someone at the office binds them and posts them to the
recipients. This means that instead of 30 odd people having to attend
the office each day, the place only needs a handful of on-site staff.

I'm really glad you've got a "someone" at your beck and call like that.
I don't send physical copies of internal reports, it's source material
I've gathered in the great outside world that I need to circulate.

Nowadays on the governmental work I do all of that sort of stuff is PDF.
I travel with a scanner, so if I meet a luddite I can scan the documents
they give me to PDF.
