        CORRECT! Give that man the prize... The trick was finding out the
"magic number" that was their cutoff figure. When I actually measured
one with a cheap school gauss meter and came up with 11,000 gauss, I
called and gave them that figure. Gasp..and then dead silence.. " our
maximum is
.00525 Gauss". At that point I realized we were talking Apples & Oranges
here..not even on the same page and asked to speak to a supervisor. They
didn't have a clue how their max was derived or what it really was.
        At that point and now I'd have to agree...DHL..pohee--Bad! NONE
of the other International shipping companies had ever heard of the
requirement. The DHL shipment was prepaid by the purchaser and scheduled
for that afternoon so no choice of shipper but never again. I can just
imagine the hastle of shipping something really weird [like a huge OLD
disc drive] with DHL!

Since this has drifted WAY off of classic comp...why don't we kill the
thread with this post?
