Announcing... Rent a wreck

This sounds like a great idea. One caution though -- using UPS between the
US and Canada may be problematic. I'm in the process of being bitten on the
rear end because of this. It appears that UPS in Canada will not ship
"personal effects" to the US, nor will they insure them. According to the
UPS claims folks in Canada, personal effects includes any item that is not a
new commercial good. If it's used (like an old computer) it's "personal
effects" and as such any damage or loss claims will be denied.

I'm still hoping UPS will find my missing package from Canada (a DEC
Computer Lab), but if not, I'm out $700 (yep, I got _really_ carried away on
an ePay auction) and will be really bummed.
