You should be able to go for a short drive one afternoon and pick one up in Germany, right? :-) .
Oh, yeah.
You people living on a large country like the US or Australia have a funny idea of what is a short trip for us! X'-)
It is 2500 Km, or 22 hours, according to google maps, from here to Berlin. Anything above 900 Km in a car is too much for me :-)
Ah, you Europeans are spoilt, and aren't what you used to be. With all those autobahns and you still cannot make it to Berlin and back in under 20 hours?! The cyclists competing in the Tour de France can do better. Look at what Hannibal did with his army, elephants, and all, in tow. Soft living, that's what it is....... :-D .
ROTFL! X'-) I lived for a period in Ottawa (Canada). I was astonished at how students would pick a car and use the winter break week to go down all the way to Florida for perhaps a two or three days stay. I assure you, real astonished. Of course I have done my mad things as a student... but that one is over my class of madness :-)
(Anyway, you do have such a thing called "Postal Service", yes? :-) )
Yes, so I'm told. Not very reliable now days, I'm afraid.
I'd be interested if you could let me know how much this card now costs in Euros. I paid AUD95 for it from the local importer/distributor (who, by coincidence, happens to live less than 10km away) when I bought mine. (And I think I told a lie in the earlier post: I think I've been using it for ~4 years and not the "~6 years" I mentioned.)
I just posted a link on another mail. The site is Spanish, but I believe that shop comes from Germany. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))
