That's a super offer and great to know. I will definitely keep it in mind. There have been a number of times that I would have gone ahead with a purchase on ebay or from Smartdisk, for example, if only shipping outside the US had been available and/or cheaper. e.g. the recent super prices on Smartdisk peripherals and expansion bay drives for powerbooks: shipping in the US was free vs. $50 to Canada and even more to Europe! Then there's the guy on ebay with all the expansion bay CDRW's and LCD screens, who doesn't ship outside the US. As to forward shipping, I've had great luck with the US post office sending stuff to Canada and Europe. Very cheap air mail rates, delivered in 3-4 days, insured up to $500. Though if you insure it you'll almost certainly have to pay customs. Anyway, thanks for the generous offer. There are some super people on this list.
