That's cute... On May 24, 1991, I got a letter from HP announcing that
since HP is ranked as a world class leader in support services, they
were enhancing their existing support services by installing a new version
of HP SupportLine... They go on to describe the various features offered
by the new SupportLine etc... The letter itself is perfectly normal except
that it was sent "Postage Due". I figured if HP couldn't afford postage on
outgoing propoganda, there must be even more problems supplying toilet-
paper in staff washrooms...
