LAST CALL : PLB Dualing Zips

From: Zippity Dodah (postmystress@yahoo.com) | Date: 2004-07-16 21:25:26 UTC
It is almost July 17 - which is the closing date for requesting PLB
Dualing Zips (as per prior post below)
postmystress[at]yahoo[dot]com

There are currently 50 requests --- and since this is only a test,
the list will be halved and TWO SETS of Mr. ZIPz will be issued to
expedite the completion of the test (hopefully within one year).

I hope to have these on their way next week.

I'd like to get in on this PLB if there is still time. Let me know and I will send you my address and zip plus 4.
Thanks
