What the heck is a tape gun? I get this vision of Julia packing a box, then taking a few steps back, pulling her gun, aiming at the box, and then pulling the trigger while saying "Eat this, sucker!". <grin> Tape then erupts from the gun with a loud "BANG!" and wraps itself around the box. >7 boxes, each 14" X 14" X 10" (sorry, Alberto) packed, and I think >that's 0.032 cubic meters each, which doesn't make it sound like a lot, >now, does it? That is indeed 0.032 cubic meters per box, and yes, that does not sound like much. Compared to the boxes used over here for moving stuff, it *is* not much; our boxes measure 48 cm x 37 cm x 32 cm (18.9" x 14.6" x 12.6") or .057 cubic meters. That still does not sound like much; however, filling such a box completely with books and then trying to lift it is likely to change your understanding of the concept "not much". :-) Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
