The opening montage shows technology and communications through the ages. The episode opens with Corky using the fax machine. Frank also needs to use it. Corky is sending a school a transcript about White House table settings. Frank needs to verify structual defect in a plane with an airforce engineer in California. Murphy enters and needs to use the fax, too. She needs a copy cleared with New York. Miles enters and lectures how the fax is not for personal use. He says that in one day, Marv's wife faxed him a grocery list, Murphy set up a basketball pool in ten states and everyone faxed a new Dan Quayle joke to Letterman. Miles reminds everyone that the fax is a serious piece of office equipment, and is not a toy.

Later: Miles sneaks up to the fax machine and attempts to send something. The machine beeps loudly which calls attention to the fax. Everyone comes over and finally Jim hits the fax on the side and it stops beeping. But it is too late. Murphy read the fax upside-down and sees the fax is to Ms. X. She points it out to everyone. (Frank: So Miles, you old Faxanova!) Murphy snatches the fax and looks at it.
