Ah, the BBS/Adventure documentary guy. If we had worked it out, I was going to be interviewed with him on my cassette based BBS project, though I doubt (considering how much more significant stuff he got) it would have made the cut.

I, too, noticed this. Two of the DVD CoCoFEST! sets I sent out went to Canada. It used to be no big deal, but it took a long time to fill out both forms, then the post office worker had to type them all in to the computer. And, it was $8.55 to send a slimline DVD case with two discs in it just to Canada. I was stunned. Like Jason Scott mentions, I too used to ship discs out all over the place (Europe, Japan, Canada, etc.) for some other things I did a decade ago, and it was pretty simple. I hadn't done it in awhile and... wow.
