Just out of curiosity, let me offer an idea to this "How to send money over
seas" problem.  I think that the answer is simple, if you trust the mail....

1) Go to the nearest international AIRPORT (I realize this might not be too
easy, but for some people it is only an hour drive or less).

2) Pick a bank in the international terminal.  There are (I think) three
different ones in the San Francisco airport.  They all offer competitive
exchange rates.

3) This is the hard part.  Trust the mail enough so that if someone steals
your $$$ or it gets lost you won't be too upset.  But I don't think this
happens too often, so this is only a minor worry....

Anyone want to comment on this?
