The US postal system already has this. Every address in a zip code has a 4 digit postfix (like 80015-xxxx). For some reason I can never remember mine but all those magazine advertisers and junk mailers put it on mail addressed to me. I wonder what would happen if you just addressed a letter with that number only, it might end up in the right spot.
If you have the money to spend, and arn't too picky about weight, go for the Dell Inspiron series. I just got a 1600x1400 XVGA, 1 Ghz, 512MB RAM, GeFORCE 2, DVD/CD-RW Combo (1 drive that fits in fixed media bay), Zip drive and Battery (In the two removable media bays), Built in 56K modem and wireless LAN, Does this sound like a laptop??
Also, all the Dell laptops have S-Video ports so you can watch DVDs on your bigscreen, strange thing is...They wont play on Micro$oft windows!!! I can't get DVDs to play on my TV to save my life, the bundled software just plays the sound and displays its logo were the picture should be. My friend is running Redhat 7.1 on his Dell inspiron and he says DVDs output fine to the TV, damn copy protection/Windoze.
