period of time, if not the documents will be destroyed. (Col.

13) Gordon teaches a system to pay for goods or services using
the postal signal. (Col. 1, ll. 6-17, col. 2, ll. 11-15). In the
system the vendor sending a package places a post card on
the package with bill payment indicia. The customer
initiates payment by putting the postcard back into the
system. The post office uses the bill payment information
on the card to pay the merchant. (Col. 2, ll. 31-30). The
post cards may be returned to the vendor or a compact
image of the post cards will be retuned to the vendor and the
postcards will be recycled. (Col. 15, ll. 60-66).
14) Busch teaches a system for use with promotional games

pieces and thus increase their chances of winning. (Col. 1,
ll. 46-50). In one embodiment the system notifies users via
“Web-TV.” (Col. 4, ll. 38-45).
