What Snail Mail CR4 Backup Is in Place?

04/01/2009 12:26 AM

Typically I have found that CR4 has allowed for many contingencies.

What if all our computers break?

What if we had to go back to the back-up, snail mail?

Should we all keep the Globalspec address in Troy New York on the wall?

are you serious?

if all the world's computers breakdown, that can only mean one thing - doomsday.

at that day, will you still care if somebody replied to your post?

but if you really want to know CR4's snail mail addy, please scroll down at the bottom of this page. you'll find it there.

you can also do a Whois query and you'll find the administrator's name and address.

Forget the snail-mail, it'll be too busy. Invest in pigeons, then work out where the mailing centre is.

Yes, it is April Fools. Question was prompted by report of threatening computer virus worm, assault.

April Fools has long been the Transcendian National Holiday.

Jungle drums have a farther reach and anyone can answer, just need a wax roll to record the "thread"
