Uhh, my site is located at Tel-Aviv, Israel, 3rd world. The state I'm
located in, and especially the customs, do not recognize 'software',
only 'media'(what you don't recognize cannot harm you).
It makes no difference if the media is $80 per diskette.

We are used to all this, only Magellan messed up things further by
sending an invoice that gives the impression the whole set is in the
pack, and the taxman wants his share accordingly.

But never worry, many of us escape. You say in Canada better?
