never heard of a shipping container, eh genius?
I saw a picture with a Mac26M inside a shipping
container. It fit real
good. But it would probably cost ten or twenty grand to
ship a Mac to
Australia. You could sail it there for probably 500
bucks worth of
groceries and drinks.
Well that's how they ship 'em - to NZ anyway. It's about
five grand
BTW, IIRC.
per boat, or per container?
I was told it would be more than 10 grand, BUT, that's from
the east coast.
IIRC, it was the container shippping cost only - San Fran to
Christchurch, NZ I think.
ie a pack the boat in yourself job, and unpack - and hope you don't get
customs requesting a fumigation etc etc. Actually, they probably would
want the container fumigated.
