- In 1990, the author helped debug a Lotus 1-2-3 setup via fax due to expensive transatlantic calls.
- The Zeroth Law of Debugging was highlighted as crucial in this scenario.
- The debug involved checking the right margin setting in Lotus 1-2-3 using the command '/ppomr'.
- Fax was a cost-effective alternative to voice calls for technical support across continents.
- The author found the actual fax later, reminiscing about the debugging process.
