That might be a more cost effective way of seeing this series. They are in the Foreign films section usually. Not sure what the Video Stores are like in Argentina but might be an idea.

Its in a local store for half price.

Multiply that by the average number of grains of sand which will fill a teaspoon, or if it's a rush delivery, a soup spoon. Take the square root if it's a Tuesday, or divide it by 298 on any other days of the year, except for Saturdays in any Month that both has an 'R' in it and also falls in a Leap Year. If it is a Shrove Tuesday and there is a North wind, find the pi value of the average Raisinet after it has been run over by a bus (or in rural areas, a horse and cart). If the parcel is to be delivered to Botswana, Bolivia, Bosnia, or Boston, Fermat's Last Theorem may be employed to find the proper value. Or ask Eric.

Also the list server is still listing him as a subscriber, so it hasn't booted him the way it would if his address disappeared. Very strange.

I reckon they *could* post it for the same cost as a letter but it *would* cost US$16 I understand why they have a minimum postage, and why they charge for postage the way they do, but it sure loses me as a customer - and I'm sorry since I had been a loyal customer a long time.
