Very good!!

Congrats to you. I'm glad to think that this computer will be used by someone who will leave it as it is and not turn it into a gaming rig.

It's truly a bitchin' tool.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Here are some tips to save some money on Brokerage fees and taxes, etc.when your package arrives in Canada. Try to get a tracking number from the shipper and then call up UPS, FEDEX, etc and ask if there will be any money to pay. If it is a large amount you can request to clear the package through Customs yourself and save the brokerage, etc.. You'll want to do this as quickly as possible.

They may try to tell you that you cannot clear packages yourself but this is a lie. You have the option of going to their location and picking up the documents or asking them to email/fax to you. Once you have the documents in hand you simply take them to your closest Canada Customs office and pay the small brokerage fee and taxes. Send the completed paperwork back to the Courier and grin when you tell them how much cash you saved Stick out tongue
