I associate the term “photocopier” with an outdated method of making copies, where the machine actually used photographic methods and chemicals (literally the copy was developed like a photograph and would come out of the machine still slightly damp and smelly). Just as people used to “burn a copy” referring to another outdated method called thermography which used heat sensitive paper.

If it were me (instead of the lawyer), I would have asked how they make copies of paper documents or something like that. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/21/2016 8:35 AM, Chuck McCown wrote: Yeahbut, when you are being deposed, your attorneys give you specific coaching to not offer any suggestions or help. Make them be very specific. Don’t give a particle of information they have not asked for in a specific way. I have had the pleasure multiple times.

At that point, a regular person (as opposed to a lawyer) would have started using other, different terms for what s/he was talking about (i.e. xerox, copier, etc.). bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/21/2016 7:21 AM, Chuck McCown wrote: I have been in a similar situation... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZbqAMEwtOE&sns=em
