Return Addresses

Up to now, I rarely put my return address on my letters, simply becuase I
was too darn lazy. That in spite of the fact that from time to time the
Post Office would complain. Well, one of my children (nice to have someone
who has the knowledge to help me) told me how to do that using my computer,
while they are out here spending Xmas with us. So, I now have a whole bunch
of return labels, and know how to do it.

Technology can be nice. Probably put some people out of work, who use to
sell us those address labels though.

Jerry, it's cheap and easy to just get them printed for you. They
come in a roll and you just peel them off and stick them on your
envelopes - you don't even have to lick them. You must get
offers for those in your junk mail. If you don't, let me know, and
I'll scan and post the next offer I get in alt.test.binaries for you.
It will probably only be a few days before I get yet another offer
for them in the junk mail.

For sending music CD's, I have a Word template with my
return address flanked by silhouettes of Bach and Mozart
facing inward. Bach and Mozart, thinking of me no doubt,
both had the good grace to have silhouettes of themselves
done, which were very fashionable in those days. I print
those onto mailing labels from Home Depot, with my
return address in the blue part. That involves printing
the Word document that contains the label first, then
taping a blank label directly over the printed address,
then reprinting the page so that the info will get printed
in the right place on the label.

If you use a decent word processor like "Atlantis", you can create
templates for letters where your name and address is created for
you. It also will print envelopes with your return name and address
included automatically.

Atlantis is a Microsoft Word Clone and works every bit as well as
Word without all the baggage of the Microsoft Office software.
It stores in the .doc format, regular .txt format, rich text .rtf format
or encrypted .cod format.

http://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/ works for me.

You have apparently never contributed to any animal-related
organization. I have enough free address labels to last for at least
a thousand years.

Don't worry about putting those people out of work. They're just
making the labels for organizations who send them out to their members
or prospective members.
