Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Controversial question....

From: "Terry Owens" <jo001k1132@...>

Hi Ross,

I had to order and paid for the Brute plans via a friend in the States. He was very annoyed at this when I asked him a question via email and demanded to know who did this for me. After his response at my asking why he didn't ship outside the USA I declined to provide him with this information.

Regards,

Terry


Terry, I think that says that he will only deal with US and Canadians. I
don't think that he specifically picked on Brits....but I must admit I
almost considered getting a US friend to order the "Brute" on my behalf <g>.

Regards,

Ross
