I. Love. This. Idea.

    Can they also send Printouts of the spam that we receive in mail by snail mail ?
  • I have been waiting for something like that for ever. Not only you could retrieve your mail from anywhere, and not worrying about changing address, but you could also archive everything on your computer. When will UPS start offering that service?
  • Yeah archiving out be huge. I hope the postal service here does it soon.
  • Scan » Digital » Online. Not sure it'll be the end of Junk mail but I like the idea.
