   Now, now, that's a severe opinion.  I don't work for UPS but I've
   shipped my Mac II with them twice and had no problems on either end
   or in the middle.  Nope, it was fast, safe, and without damage.  Of
   course I did use original cartons, but I didn't even bother to
   remove the boards from their slots.  I received it, plugged it in,
   and viola, it worked.

I agree.  I used to work for UPS, and from what I saw, they treated
packages pretty well.  I even saw several macintoshes go through where
I worked.  

However, I would suggest packing it in the origional container or
something designed specificly for shipping computers.
