      Faxing was still a very common way to send a document in 1990. Email was around at the time, but it was a lot slower in 1990 and not nearly as widely used.

    I imagine walking around planting magical super-seeds and carrying a flamethrower, growing a forest all around me and then whipping out the flamethrower to cut it all down, vaporized in a plasma cloud straight down to the roots and I never stop walking and planting and burning everything. I'd be out there talking to myself and talking to God, debating omniscience and photographing all the evidence of things, the trees and the empty fields, the pacing footsteps and the arcs of fire.
