    I don't blame you. What's a brokerage fee? I've received packages from the
US via UPS and there weren't any fees. 
    Hell, I'm in Canada. If you want to go through the trouble I'll buy it and
send it. I wouldn't think it'd cost me any more than $10 or so in shipping,
unless software is special...

    I still use my old chat scripts to connect via my modem. They work great.
I recently used magicfilter to get my printer working. 
    I love Debian. It's certainly not the easiest, but I learn lots.
