overnight UPS delivery either as it took something like a few months.
It almost seems cheaper to fly there :-)
I've always thought that there was great potential in
transoceanic transfer of old computer equipment. Right now,
it all seems to flow out of the US to China.
How much does it cost to send a cargo container from
London to San Francisco? Aren't there computer stores
or computer museums or computer clubs on both ends that
could make it happen profitably?
