snail mail?

Hiya

Just out of interest, is anybody still mailtrading after all this time? Does anyone know of anyone who perhaps doesnt have internet access and who still regularly mailtrades?

I think that would be awesome. I dont know why......

once they're more affordable (aka going below 5-3€), i foresee a funky usb-stick trading scene rising up.

Yeah, if you go to one of those companies that does customer-branded product you could get a load of 64Mb or so flash drives with a crew name embossed onto them - how cool would that be?!

How about trading hex-dumped warez printed on paper so you have to type it in before you can run it. That would just be so leet.

Cruzer: I heard that that was the way PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) was exported from the USA, since it was ok to export a book, but no ok to export encryption software.

Think that snail mailing will be more safe than the internet stuff.. so sooner or later we have to reanimate our plk´s or else..

but .. hmmm, would be real funny to swap self transferred .d64 files by cd... with self drawn/designed cd stickers..

The Internet will probably be shot down soon anyway, so the good old "return stamps" phrase might get a revival soon.
