Subject: [Leica] Insure your parcels from UK Post Office!

Another paranoid view which I like to take is they want your money for
"insurance" just like the mob wants it for "protection" and if you give it
to them you get your package if you don't you don't.
So I always insure. Its money they feel like they are entitled to.
Also as you're insured they do have to give you that money if your gear
disappears. The rest is less mystery. Nothing mysteriously disappears.

I type this my first lug message with a 23inch NEC screen.
Instead of the 13 inch built into my laptop.
I am now a real man. I have a flatscreen.
Though my ego boundaries have not quite expanded to the 23 inches yet.
I'm a big overwhelmed - getting it looking right is going to be a long haul
I have a feeling.
It took me an hour to find the "mirror" button in my prefs so I have
something on it other than my screen background pic.

Right now this looks blue and washed out. But the HULU video I just summoned
up looks much better than before.

Any tips? O I forgot this is supposed to be about main getting stolen.
