That’s nothing. About a month ago I dealt with a company that sold integrated circuits, and not ones you could source from Digikey. So I go through their website, click on the “order” button, and then I go looking for the shopping cart to check out. Can’t find it. Where the heck did they hide it? The only order page I could find told me to either call or fax, and who the hell does that? So then I noticed a link near the bottom that said “Order conveniently online!” Great!
I was redirected to a page that had a PDF order form that you could download, fill in, and then fax back.
W… T… F!
So I filled in the PDF, but because Adobe wouldn’t save my filled-in values to PDF (because the order form was DRM’d) and I couldn’t be arsed to take a screenshot, I printed it out, scanned it back in, and then faxed it via some free online fax service.
I have this image in my head of 75 year old Minerva getting the fax and then typing the order in on their internal computer system. Which then gets printed out and handed to 67 year old Frank who pulls the chips from inventory.
