UK service supports printable postage
The UK's Royal Mail today unveiled a new service allowing Mac as well as Windows users to purchase and print postage stamps online. Customers can pay for postage online by selecting the amount for their parcel, then paying via credit card, debit card, or a pre-pay account, according to Macworld UK. A unique barcode is printed directly onto envelopes, labels, or paper before posting in the usual manner. The new service requires no subscription fee, and costs the same amount as normal postage. Online postal options are not limited in any way, allowing users to send mail First Class or internationally. The service also allows users to print numerous forms online, according to the report. "The service is perfect for busy people, but it is also aimed at home workers who post small quantities of mail on a regular basis as well as people who sell goods via auction websites," said Alex Batchelor, marketing director for Royal Mail.

Still, nice to see people notice my little island off the coast of Europe :))
The Mac angle is simple enough... Macs can use the service. Invariably when national postal services have instituted comparable online postage services of this nature, they were only usable via Windows.
so, any day now.. .i swear it.
