There are plenty of the stuff available on Ebay so supply is no problem but freight is. Payment system is also a problem. Old honest system with ordinary bank transfer beforehand work great but selling company refuce to accept it and instead want credit card. It might also be they are not happy with delivery address and also want both E-mail and telephone but I refuse because my child use it to order stuff on Internet. These cand idiotic systems make me really pistoff. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
