It seems most people don't know about the "international postal money
order," available at your post office, almost anywhere on Earth.
It's cheaper than cutting a check in another country's funds.
And to think about the horrible transportation costs -
Sorry, can't do anything about that... although it sounds like
an enterprising computer arbitrageur or even an antique dealer
could make some money by filling a trans-ocean container with
"rare" European computers, and shipping it to San Francisco,
and vice-versa.
