Sounds like Julio was swamped with printer drivers (I sent him one as well).
I'm amazed to hear GIS software is classified as munitions. Does anyone have
a reference that actually states this?

Actually Jason, I did too. I think we're finally gettig somewhere in
thinking it is more important to help a colleague than to consider the
politics. Perhaps this will extend one day to one's software as well as
one's nationality. But if it were a GIS or GIS component and not a printer
driver, that would be another story. GIS software is classified as a
munition, and that could not be sent to Cuba under US law. -- Steve
