i'm in the US of A, and with shipping the thing was 27 euros -- no cheap shipping options are offered, only registered postal service, one of the most expensive ways to ship i don't know what the current rate is for the real world, but the conversion indicated by paypal was 1US dollar = .66 euros another thing that's holding me back is the weather -- winter has just gotten up to speed here, dropping two inches of snow last night and a high temp today of 14F -- that's -10C to you -- anyway it's going to be a good 4 months at least before i start wearing short-sleeved t-shirts again, so without a long-sleeved choice, and without cheaper shipping options, i find my desire for one of these shirts diminished sc -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
