[Boatanchors] Shipping: Gotta Vent

[Rob Atkinson]

A few years ago I shipped a 75A-3.  I probably spent $60 on packing
materials.  It was double boxed and each box lined with styrofoam
slabs.  I forget what it cost for FedEx Ground but the whole cost was
probably way over $100.  I didn't like it but what would I have spent
to put it in my car and drive it 1000 miles.  Still cheaper to box and
ship.
