But then not many of you Brits consider the UK really a part of Europe :-)


Another problem in Europe, the UK, and many other places, is that even local
phone calls are metered, and usually charged at much higher rates than metered
service in North America. So even sites with local connections have much
higher phone bills than similar sites in North America.

I dread the time when I will return there (either Britain or Austria),
taking my system with me.
