On January 21, 2015, during the “Windows 10: The Next Chapter” press event, Microsoft unveiled Office for Windows 10, Windows Runtime ports of the Android and iOS versions of the Office Mobile suite. Setting up the office suite is pretty simple, though it’s quite a memory hog. In 1838 the Money Order Office was established, to provide a secure means of transferring money to people in different parts of the country (or world), and to discourage people from sending cash by post. Attempts were made to levy Post Office fees on these letters and ‘ship letter money’ was offered to captains for each letter given to a postmaster on arrival in England in order for these charges to be applied; however they were under no legal obligation to comply and the majority of ship letters evaded the extra charges. Two years later Wildman was imprisoned, implicated in a plot against the King, whereupon Bishop sold the lease on to the King’s gunpowder manufacturer, Daniel O’Neill; after the latter’s death, his widow the Countess of Chesterfield served out the remainder of the original seven-year term (so becoming the first female Postmaster General). In 1619, James I appointed a separate Postmaster General ‘for foreign parts’, granting him (and his appointees) the sole privilege of carrying foreign correspondence to and from London.

It was usual for each postmaster to employ post-boys to ride with the mail bags from one post-house to the next; the postmaster at the next post-house would then record the time of arrival, before transferring the bags to a new horse, ridden by a new post-boy, for the next stage of the journey. But the bigger human footprint on the moon is, arguably, the 96 bags of human waste left behind by the six Apollo missions that landed there. However, during the propellant load of its second stage – which takes the Orion capsule destined for the moon into its desired orbit – another leak was detected. Packet boats, however, were not the only means of conveying letters overseas: there had always been the option of sending them by merchant ship, and coffee houses had long been accustomed to receiving letters and packages on behalf of ships’ captains, who would carry them for a fee. You’re covered. Venture above LEO, however, and your handy GPS receiver will quickly find itself above the satellite constellation and, as a result, no longer be able to record a signal. In a new partnership with NASA and their Ames Research Center, they’ll work together on shared research that will benefit Nissan cars here on Earth and robots in space.

So my connection with America and with cars was forged on those images. And also let you share/upload your documents, images and videos to these services. In 1823 the Admiralty took over managing the long-distance routes out of Falmouth, while services to and from Ireland and the continent were increasingly put out to commercial tender. In the following century, packet services out of Falmouth began to sail to the West Indies, North America and other transatlantic destinations. Most flights originate from Las Vegas or the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but because many airports can accommodate a 727, the company invites customers to charter flights based out of their nearest major airport, making it that much easier to achieve a lifelong dream of defying gravity. Alongside money orders, postal orders were introduced in 1881, which were cheaper and easier to cash. Postal orders and money orders were vital at this time for transactions between small businesses, as well as individuals, because bank transfer facilities were only available to major businesses and for larger sums of money. An attempt by Charles Povey to set up a rival halfpenny post in 1709 was halted after several months’ operation; however Povey’s practice of having letter-carriers ring a bell to attract custom was adopted by the Post Office and went on to be employed in major cities until the mid-19th century.

The use of other roads required government permission (for example, it was only after much lobbying that a ‘cross-post’ between Bristol and Exeter was authorised, in 1698; previously mail between the two cities had to be sent via London). Gradually more financial services were offered by post offices, including government stocks and bonds in 1880, insurance and annuities in 1888, and war savings certificates in 1916. In 1909 old age pensions were introduced, payable at post offices. In 1840 the Uniform Penny Post was introduced, which incorporated the two key innovations of a uniform postal rate, which cut administrative costs and encouraged use of the system, and adhesive pre-paid stamp. The Penny Post letter-carriers operated from seven main sorting offices around London, which were supplemented by between four and five hundred ‘receiving houses’ in all the principal streets in the area, where members of the public could post items. While postmasters were not obliged to deliver items to places outside the boundary, they could agree to do so on payment of an extra fee.
