Reminds me of the time I had to move something (a DEC H960 rack, it's
on-topic) about 60 miles within England. One shipping company told me
they could only handle it if I took it to their nearest depot, which was
about 40 miles away. Needless to say I told the idiots that if I could
move it 40 miles, I could also move it 60 :-)
