Office Equipment That’s Rubbish #1

Binding Machines.
Despite much looking around, at work we still use wire binding machines. Surely this must be basically the same technology that they had at the beginning of the last century? Oh, sure they’ve come on a bit with the introduction of plastic combs rather than only wire ones, and electric hole punchers. But the machines break down regularly and cost upwards of 500 pounds. And they don’t properly punch holes which means you have to reprint your full colour opus.
Sure, there are glue machines around that heat seal pages together, but a spiral solution is easier to read. So why hasn’t this technology moved on?
I hate binders!
