Demoing the App • Download it from our website: http://cs.dartmouth.edu/~mgm/cs65/ • Proceed through the app, choosing a photo and writing a message • Use real to/from addresses that you know exist (the app will be upset with you if you don’t!): • 2940 Hinman • Dartmouth College • Hanover, NH 03755 • Use demo credit card so you can see resulting postcard but it isn’t actually mailed and you don’t have to pay: • credit card number 4242 4242 4242 4242, with any expiration and code • Click the link to download and look at your beautiful postcard!
