    Well, they probably put it in the post office to capture back the customers they lost when their email went down from receiving too many files "to have your advice." They want to get a chance to recapture their customers when they head off to the post office to send their mail that way instead.

    What is so flame-tastic about a joke? Oh yeah I forgot this is slashdot. No sense of humor at all...

    Do you have any young children I may place my penis into? I promise I will return them in only "slightly used" condition (just a bit sticky).

    3 anti microsoft posts in 1 day - christ you must have blistered hands there in slashdot central !

    I find it hilarious that /. supports the lawsuit of one huge rapacious monopoly rapist (AOL Time Warner) against MSFT even thought the issue they are bringing up yet again is a dead one and has been fought and lost before.

    Consistency is after all important - you knock MS for wanting to control IT and you support AOL/TW whose aim seems to be control of the world

    Moron does not begin to cover it
