I think we should raise it to 45 cents per one ounce. The public and window personnel would love not having to work with all the pennies. It would allow us a better opportunity to increase our revenue. I don't think people would complain any more than they would otherwise. It is still an awesome "deal" when you think about it, where else can you send a letter for 44 or 45 cents?

I don't see why we don't move up one more penny and make it easier for everyone. 45 cents is still a good price and I really don't think that extra penny will make a big difference to our customers but it can help us.
