This reply is to John - go get educated man! That is just about the most
pompous post I've read!! People with opinions like that are the reason other
countries can't stand Average Joe America!
Do you think EVERY country is like Japan/Canada/Australia(sp)? More or less
comparable to the US? Geeeez . . . I've been to Mexico (my mother-in-law is
from there) and at the time I was working a 1992 minimum wage job and I was
RICH in comparison!!
My Aussie friend says it best:
"Now I know why we have America - it's a good place to keep the Americans!"

Yup, a UPS is more or less the same price here in Mexico...
Problem is, i make around 2USD an hour (and thats a good salary here!),
so its very problematic to buy hardware (long live AMD and Cyrix!)
