. how do they know when you've bought internat'ly ? that reminds of when Americans can buy smartdrugs online, but then they get confiscated by usa customs . . maybe they're referring to the sort of extra taxes that are incurred by dealing with Internationals? . every time I buy computer gear, they make me promise not to share it with Internat's; Apple had to switch cpu's because the power pc would give the enemy supercomputers? . imagine Brightstar is just as pissed off as you, that might very well be the case !
