Ya, I forgot about the UK... If and when they sent a car over we could worry
then.
As for US/Canada interfacing, not that I am advocating smuggling, mind you,
but one COULD just mail it to someone in a border town and have them drive
across and post it from the other side... (or receive it from the other
side via a friend) There are people in MichLUG that live in Windsor and work
on the US side so it's not like it would even be an extra trip over.
But figureing out what the right thing to say on a customs form to GUARANTEE
no hassles from the Canada guys would be nice. Why can't they just be like
the US and not levy duty on plastic and not try to collect sales tax on it
either. But I digress... (I actually *know* why. Ask me in .debate if you
really want to know)
