[Isn't the Postal Service] the folks who drop off 2 pounds of junk advertisements at my house every day? Better yet, email your Christmas greetings.

Gee, let's see... $400 and change for a basic level desktop from Dell, $15 to $35 per month for net access, somewhere from $30 to $75 in software for firewall and virus protection, and lastly there is the time spent screening and deleting spam, and/or setting up software and filters. And let us not forget the occasional crash.

You are right. When one looks at the huge (or is it hugh?) 37 cent per use fee and the enormous effort involved in tossing away the adds as you walk in from the box there is just no comparison. Not even close.

BTW, here is my Christmas card to you…

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Festive eh? I knew you would think so!

Yeah, but you'll be able to do so much more then email Christmas greetings once you get up and running.

I agree. Why wait 3 days for delivery too? The USPS is getting a little long in the tooth. Kind of like the fax machine did to bicycle messengers in the early 90's.

Thank You!!!!!! I wish you the same.

Well, it's okay. We usually email nice big .jpg's with pictures of the family, text overlays, etc.

I've nothing against plain text though.
