| Wednesday Sep 1, 1999 | Has the recent
security hack of Microsoft's Hotmail made you paranoid
of your at-work online job-hunting? Sure, HushMail offers
web-based email with java-powered public-key encryption - but both sending
and receiver must use HushMail accounts for it to work. Thanks to ZipLip, you ungrateful, company-resource-abusing
turncoats can keep your primary webmail provider while exchanging encrypted messages with your favorite headhunters.

of letters and packages, and now mere mortals will be able to purchase United States postage and print it out.

offering free postage and discounts if not free startup costs. E-Stamp Corporation's E-Stamp Internet Postage, Pitney Bowes offers
ClickStamp Plus and ClickStamp Online, Stamps.com with self titled
Stamps.com, Inc., Neopost's PC Stamp, Simply Postage, and software only PostagePlus.

| Ok geek, thanks to the helpful links from memepool, your Metaverse avatar is ready and you're busy building your bandwidth-hogging 3DAnarchy home. But how's your sword-fighting skills, Deliverator?
