Off topic but interesting?? Magnetics

CORRECT! Give that man the prize... The trick was finding out the "magic number" that was their cutoff figure. When I actually measured one with a cheap school gauss meter and came up with 11,000 gauss, I called and gave them that figure. Gasp..and then dead silence.. " our maximum is .00525 Gauss". At that point I realized we were talking Apples & Oranges here..not even on the same page and asked to speak to a supervisor. They didn't have a clue how their max was derived or what it really was. At that point and now I'd have to agree...DHL..pohee--Bad! NONE of the other International shipping companies had ever heard of the requirement. The DHL shipment was prepaid by the purchaser and scheduled for that afternoon so no choice of shipper but never again. I can just imagine the hastle of shipping something really weird [like a huge OLD disc drive] with DHL!
