Hmmmm. I wonder if that DVD (not CD) online rental place will deliver to
Japan for the same price. They advertise one a week, come hell or  high
water with no late fees for returns. At least they wouldn't be dubbed.

Sounds good. If you get bored with your choice, pop in one of Charlette's
or Don's...

Not familiar with much of the martial arts movies. I saw the last one that
Bruce Lee made and got disintereted when he was killed.

They probably have a big turn-over business, especially with the US crowd.

It's a bit bloody, if anybody there has a queasy stomach. Morgan Earp gets
shot and dies on a pool table, blood all over the place. The OK Corral
shot-out isn't too bad though. Doc Holiday and Johny Ringo rub each other
the wrong way from their first encounter and that's a great part of the
story as they push each other's buttons to the end. Wyatt meets his true
love and leaves his wife for her, eventually. They're the love story in
the movie.

 RW>>> Afterall, a little respect can get you a long way here.

 CS>> Yeah.  Grin, works for us both!

I have two batteries for my Dell, neither of which were in the recall.

Looks like you're having bad luck with them.

If the ship's computer and yours has a USB port, you could buy one of
those memory sticks and copy the packets to it. Best part is they're small
and you can wear it around your neck on a chain. They also come with large
capacity storage from 128MBytes to 2GBytes. You should be able to get them
pretty cheap in Japan. 128s are going for under 20$ here.

 RW>> Ok...I'll be looking for you. Good luck with the HD...

 CS> Meantime, I'll probably be at Docs or Todd's.  Dale's packets will be

At least you're diversified with plenty of choices for access.
