Funny you should mention the USPS and email. I was browsing through
the latest issue of PC WEEK (12-07-98), and noticed the following
paragraph in Spencer Katt's column "Rumor Central" on page 178 -
"A self-proclaimed 'project mis-manager' was chatting with a
buddy who's done some development work for the U.S. Postal Service.
His pal was talking about a new project in which the USPS will
accept electronic documents, merge them with a mailing list, print
them at the post office branch closest to the destination of each
document's recipient and deliver them for less than the price of a
snail mail stamp. The kicker: Microsoft is considering an add-in
that will put a USPS 'Mail' button in Office 2000 for directly
linking to the service."
it's pure evil.
