I had to get a picture of this when I went to the Post Office last week to ship several overdue packages on New Year’s Eve. Personally, I don’t mind interacting with the postal workers but if my stuff is ready to go, I can do it more efficiently through the machine shown above. Thankfully, there was no line so I asked the clerk what was wrong with the automatic teller. Her response was discomforting; all of them across the country were down because they’re networked together. Nice. Little did we know it should’ve been a warning of the upcoming Zune apocalypse later in the evening. On the upside, at least the Post Office could continue to ship packages and not be left helpless like the USS Yorktown in 1998.
