Lots of people mention devices (of all types) that are in some state of
transfer (for sale, for a good home, need help in moving, etc.). While I
appreciate all of these informative descriptions, I am loathe to respond since
I don't know if I could be of any help due to distance.
I would like to recommend that those requesting assistance mention their
locale. We here in the USA have these nice devices called ZIP codes which are
quite helpful. In other parts of the world, similar postal codes exist, and
along with a country would indicate to the casual reader (like me) as to what
level of participation they could achieve.
I would agree. This is an interntational list (which is certainly a Good
Thing), and the size/nature of the machines discussed here means that
more help can be given from sombody who is local
As an alternative to a ZIP code/postcode/..., a simple description of
where you are, along with the country, would be OK I think. Something
like 'Just north of Bristol, England'.
Basically I don't have a need to respond to a
request for assistance for moving
a large piece of equipment that is 3000 miles from my home.
Or in my case, seeing the dream machine I've alwaysed wnated, but then
having this little bit of water in the way...
