Failing that there's international money order, but I'm not sure where you'd get one from.

I think any way you do this, you're going to pay a fee. I think the cost is somewhere between $5 and $10, if I remember correctly from solving this same problem going the other way across the Atlantic. Never thought the cheapest place to buy a laptop motherboard would be the UK, did you?

Didn't even think about this, but is there such a thing as a "postal money order" on your side of the pond?

Ozymandias... whenever a link does that to you, try copying the URL for it and pasting it in the address bar of a new window. You might have better luck.<br><br>Right click, "Copy Link Location", Ctrl+N (for new window), select the entire contents of the address bar, Ctrl-V (paste), and [Enter]

I figured you knew how to do it, but then I couldn't tell for sure if you did it. I've known many people to have a knack for overlooking the obvious, and I'm sure the instructions are helping SOMEONE out there. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
