I work on the machines that process mail for the USPS. Letters start at the feeder and within 1 foot of travel are moving at 20 mph, there is stress on the envelope. The mailpiece is routed around a series of turns to kill time while the optics read the mailpiece and determine sortation.
The mailpiece is then routed to a pocket where it goes from 20mph to zero with a quarter inch foam bumper to stop it. This machine processes at about 40,000 pieces an hour.
Writing "fragile" on an envelope is a false hope. Mailpieces go through the system without the human eye even looking at them until the carrier puts it in your mailbox.
If you want a fragile piece to go manual, then box it and pay the extra postage. The video and game rental industry companies need to build a better mailpiece to protect their content.
I'm not sure anyone will read this deep but I'll post anyway...
If the "relief" from drinking caffiene is coming 8-10 minutes after drinking... that is a psychosematic reaction ( psychological addiction vs physical addiction), your body doesn't get the caffiene for at least a half hour.
So I suggest you move to a blended coffee first cutting the caffiene in half, then in half again after a while until you reach the level you want.
The USPS is slowly moving from DEC's VMS to new boxes running Linux. The system is being used for reading adresses off of envelopes (30K p/hour +) as well as process monitoring for automated equipment. they had been using Qnx as well.
