Hi I don't think it's a good idea to call it "amateur packing" as there should be a better AMERICAN word for such way of packing.
Amateur (originally in French) means non-professional, that is, an activity not paid by an ordinary salary. But amateur packing (like amateur radio) can be much better executed than professional packing, althout not necessarily at competitive costs. Just my 2 cent$... when we suffer from misconsideration as Radio Amateurs (or Radio Amateur Operators) and some prefer the Ham Radio designation. 73 de Jose' - ct1axg ------------------------------ Replying to following message From: Edward B Richards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [AMRadio] fs: Delta ASM-1 To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii You.
