If you mean the Netherlands by 'old Holland' you're totally wrong with respect to the postal service. It's more like this: Hello, I've got a package for you... Helloooooooooo.... Oh you're not at home, I'll just leave a message for you that I'll be back tomorrow at a time that you're not at home... Next day: Hello I've got a package for you... Helloooooooooo... Geez, again nobody here... I wonder where everybody is... Ah, I'll leave a message that you can pick up the package at the post office TOMORROW after a certain time... And the next day at the post office you have to stand in the line for almost an hour because some jackass has to register the sale of some 20 cars... -- servies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ servies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31258 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
