I'm thinking the bin of old PC video cards down at Good Will looks pretty attractive right now.
I won't do it though in protest of their shipping options though. $15 and $20 is ridiculous, especially for a service which will take longer to deliver than the US Mail would, when the US Mail would only charge $4 - $6 (depending on weight). They're probably using Airborne or similar service which just doesn't make sense for a package this small and sturdy. The USPS will have a box like that across the country in about three days for starting at $3.85. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
