Snail Mail Tech
Paul03244 writes "I found a fascinating Smithsonian Institute page about snail mail technology, part of the SI's National Postal Museum. Great stuff; everything from 'perforating paddles' used during the process of fumigating mail during the Yellow Fever epidemic of the 1880s; to a number of items used in Rural Mail Delivery. A great page to make us realize that even a dialup Internet connection is a great improvement over what our forebears were accustomed to just a generation or two ago."

[1] Not counting the plastic surgery...
[2] He's just a mortal, despite of what his fans may think.
[3] Slashdot Karma doesn't count in the real world.

We believe that humans evolved from four bears, our forebearers, a couple of generations ago. Thank you for your kind mention. Now if only you would do it more often...
