I've seen reams of paper, but I guess having postcards from your members is cooler Smiley

I don't know how this is gonna work. I once sent a couple of CDs to the UK for $12.

Not cheap.

You will have my gratitude, and I thank you very much.

I think I might have a new lucky charm (not that I have any at the moment).

I've mailed 9 guys to Austria, India, and Moldova for less than $1.50 each.

Spread out 100 mailings over time and the wife won't notice a hole in her bucket...

Try the old "Return Address is really the Delivery Address" trick :O

When I was a teenager, I would send a letter to my girl everyday, and never once paid for postage.

A "Will It Blend?" episode with the C9 Guy Cool

They'd probably do it.

I was thinking of sending them a copy of Vista and Office to blend since they are "Better Together" Smiley

Thousands. Too many to count, we've talking about doing a regular show in our new mini-studio that we recently had made. It would be called The Coffeehouse. In it I was thinking about having us read postcards from people who send them in.

The studio btw is a new thing, something you'll see more of and a way for us to bring more folks on Channel 9.

No worries, we haven't done a great job of getting the Nine guys out. The postcard mechanism works best as all we have to do is take them from the mailslot, drop the card off at the receptionist and they mail them out for us. Smiley

The 9 guy in the photo were used originally in the Niner Lounge at PDC05. We now have them sitting in the atrium area in the middle of building 18. The dev team took them out for a field trip.

The studio is a couple of converted offices and a Newtek switching unit. There is a green screen too that will have some fun with. We're still ironing out some issues with it, but should start pushing some regular content very soon with it for 9, 10 and the Mix site.
