Oh good grief. Why would anybody ever think it was a good idea to start doing this again?
Stamps.com's Physical Spam
Okay, let’s see here:
[0] % ls /Volumes/873-SDM-CD001 AUTORUN.INF browser_printPackages.exe STAMPS.ico browser_printPackages.opt browser_getStarted.exe browser_printStamps.exe browser_getStarted.opt browser_printStamps.opt browser_learnMore.exe demo.swf browser_learnMore.opt setup.exe browser_printEnvelopes.exe stamps.exe browser_printEnvelopes.opt [0] % diskutil list disk2s0 /dev/disk2 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: CD_partition_scheme *39.0 Mi disk2 1: CD_ROM_Mode_2_Form_1 873-SDM-CD001 32.6 Mi disk2s0
So, stamps.com spent 19 cents to create 1.125 oz of trash, only 0.675 oz (the cardboard) of which is recyclable to get 32.6 MB of data to me… that I can’t use anyway, because it’s Windows-only. Super fail.
Incidentally, measured those weights using my perfectly functional analog kitchen scale, without the need either for digital readout, let alone USB connectivity.
