I just signed for a UPS package on one of those portable thingies
and it looks like I was writing with the wrong hand or drunk or something. Is there a secret to writing on those that I don't know?

2. Yep
I don't even bother trying anymore. I just sign without looking at the thingy. Better that way.

3. It doesn't matter how you sign.........
Just tell the UPS person your last name, and it's all good.

4. Yep, it's punched in by hand on the little keypad
Very efficient, those DIADs are, and pretty damn cool I may add.

Tough little bastards too, had one slide off the dash and bounce along the road at 30mph once, picked it up, brushed off the gravel and went back to work.

5. Don't you wish you could vote that easily?
It would be sweet to vote just by going to your front door and checking off a couple of boxes on a display. Take your paper receipt and retire to the couch!
