    would be nice if it looked like a computer that was built within the last decade.

    @Jersson Gomez: Sadly, the LCD screen mailbox was cancelled due to not being able to fit anything except a letter or two in it.

    @Nick Livingston: Mac fanboi's can't swing a bat. Actually, most gadget fanboi's probably were never into sports enough to swing more than a wiffle ball bat.

    Speaking as a Mac fanboi, I must say even that is an overestimation of some of us. Still, whereas I may have trouble with wiffle ball bats, I'm very familiar with waffle griddle batters. Shall I make you a crêpe?

    So would past due/audit notices and angry love-threats be considered malware?

    @Kaiser '3D' Machead: Malware? I thought "angry love" was one of the backbones of the internet.

    @Duckspwn: Um, it accepts deliveries from the mail carrier, and holds deliveries for the mail carrier.


    It also takes the brunt of baseball bat abuse at Halloween and tips your friendly neighborhood Postal employee with a honey-baked ham or cash-filled envelope during the holidays.


    I certainly wouldn't call that nothing!

    Um... yeah... I could go to one of those used computer places, buy a garbage comp for $50, and make this in probably 2 hours...


    This mailbox doesn't even look real... I like the Mac one better haha

    @SJRNWT: BUT, does yours have the postmasters approval? I believe it's required.
