It sounds like the Post Office is looking at doing something that would 
be really useful.  No wonder they are the only branch of the Federal 
Governement to "Turn a Profit".

This approach would elmininate some of the biggest concerns, like 
competitors locking each other out of the market with proprietary schemes 
(Netscape, MSN, Spry/Checkfree, Prodigy,...)  I just want to mail a check 
not develop intimate life-time relationships with 7 different companies.

My car uses unleaded gas.  I hope they don't stop selling it or start 
selling something that damages my engine as a mandatory replacement.
(Like 50% MTBE :-).

A week after I shell out $100 for a TCP/IP package with Mosaic, I hit a 
server that won't talk to me unless I have Netscape.  When I go to 
download Netscape, they want an extra $35 bucks.  They guys who wroted 
Mosaic wrote Netscape, thanks for Nothin'.  (Imagine this conversation 
from a guy from Brooklyn, as I'm telling him how great the WEB is.
