Bill - If I bought into his arguments then the implementation of Zip+4 must have cost TRILLIONS of dollars. Minor detail here... Zip+4 didn't have a fixed deadline. As a SWAG, I'd guess Zip+4, spread over 10-15 years probably has had an implementation cost well into the billions. As an individual I spent slightly more than $1,000.00 in postage in 1996. You extrapolate... 16,000+ public companies, 20,000,000+ small businesses, 250,000,000+ individuals. These are huge numbers. How about when the $2 bill was introduced Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but the $2.00 bill was in use long before computers appeared. - David
