Funny how fate works.. I've got a copy of that book already, but I decided to 
have a look through the "Vintage Computing" category (just for grins). Found a 
nice looking Micro-Professor MPF-1B, complete with manuals, going for not very 
much money. Been after one of those for ages...

Now what I'd really like is my Jupiter Ace mainboard back - Lee Davison (the 
guy behind http://themotionstore.com/leeedavison/) currently has it in his 
possession, and seems to be ignoring every single email I've sent him asking 
for it back... Been trying for six months - he's had the thing for nigh on 
three years and FWICT hasn't done much with it beyond ascertaining that "it's 
broken". I'd much appreciate it if anyone who has his current email address / 
phone number could pass the message on. I know he's still active - he's been 
posting to classiccmp fairly regularly...

(end offtopicness - sorry folks...)

www.royalmail.com is usually pretty easy to use IME. Certainly easier than the 
USPS's website...
They (Royal Mail) used to have a little price-calculator / comparison tool on 
the site, but I can't find it now. Might have been pulled :(
