oh wait... googling shows it as a real documentary. Could have sworn when I saw it so many years ago that it was not a real company

it's real, I just watched this again a few days ago.

It's sad when people who are talented and driven and successful decide that their success isn't good enough and they have to take it to the next level by dishonest means.

Watched the film in 2001, still waiting for USPS to start scanning my PO Box mail and email it to me.

Actually, they don't have to go that far. I'd take a simple email notifying me that I HAVE mail in my PO Box, and maybe who it's from. Would save me a trip a week probably.

I can't say I'm surprised. If you haven't seen it, Startup.com was great. Tuzman came across as about as likeable as Billy Mitchell.

Have you considered using a registered agent service, e.g., Virtual Post Mail and Earth Class Mail? They do this, along with other services like check deposit, and it's only marginally more expensive than a PO box.

Earth Class Mail filed for bankruptcy recently

Edit: They're also who I thought this was about. I get Startup.com and Start-up Junkies mixed up. Start-up Junkies followed Earth Class Mail, and was also pretty interesting.
