I went down to the local UPS store to have an Osborne Executive double-boxed for shipping to its new owner. I previously had this store double box two IMSAIs and two Altairs. Each time it cost around $35 to do it. This time it was way out of line. First, they were out of big bubbles, so they had to use lots more of the little bubbles to get two-inches of padding all the way around. Second, the prices of their boxes is astronomical. A 30x30x20 outer carton cost $12. The inner carton cost $8. The total just for packing this computer came to $68. The computer itself sold for $55. -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
