Sergey,
Is there a cheaper vendor (less than twice the old price)?
By the way, the USPO has had several bad years in a row and apparently
lost about five billion last year. They are talking about discontinuing saturday
service, as well as raising prices.

Hi,
Since January 27th 2013 USPS (United States Postal Service)
significantly increased international rates - about twice as high
compared to previous rates.
Postage cost of> 4 ounces (113 g) is now ~ $9.45 (could a bit less
for Canada and Mexico)
Postage cost of 4> 8 ounces (113 g to 226 g) is now ~ $12.75
Just for reference Zeta SBC (and probably most ECB boards) weights 2
oz (2.3 oz with the envelope).
And so I don't have a choice, but to increase shipping price to $10
for smaller boards (Zeta SBC, ParPortProp, ISA OPL2, ISA Floppy Disk
and Serial), and $13 for larger boards (Xi 8088).
US rates also have increased, but only slightly (something like $0.01
per ounce), so no price change for US - $3 for smaller boards, $4 for
bigger ones.
Thanks,
Sergey

Note: I don't use messenger, or skype, or facebook, chat programs in general. Having always-on open communication links through massive public servers I don't have control over seems like too much of an invitation to be infected by a virus or bot. It is bad enough that my Mac wants to stay in periodic contact with Apple's cloud. Skype was tempting before Microsoft bought them. There have been too many examples of remote session links being abused by vendor employees. Even "back to my mac" makes me nervous. There was a recent episode where Apple cooperated with a social engineer and compromised someone's entire electronic persona. If you want to speak with me, calling me on the phone works well, and you don't have to wonder if the electronic mail got through or not. When I say "Hello, this is Doug", you know who you are talking to. Just in case you were curious.
