My father used to get his mail all the time.

It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence.

He has a Blackberry and he?s on it all the time. Most of our conversations are by e-mail and every time I check my e-mail there?s a message from him.

At that time we have to mail out 6.8 billion dollars to the various shareholders.

For RIM, this comes at a horrible time with its patent case. Companies are already wondering about e-mail, and now the alternative is crystal clear.

For the time being, we are just not opening fan mail. Just to be careful, we are putting it off for now.
