Tens of thousands of Christmas well-wishers made use of a somewhat unique service offered by TPG Post, the Dutch postal service.

Customers were able to create their own electronic cards (often containing photographs) on their PC and send them to an Internet address. The postal service subsequently printed out the cards and delivered them manually.

Volumes are still tiny when compared to the 200m conventional Christmas and New Year cards TPG Post delivers every year.((Distributed via M2 Communications Ltd - http://www.m2.com))
