Somehow I'd missed you'd had so much trouble with your tires this winter! Yikes!!

No, no laptop; I'm carting my wee mac mini in its box and another box for the monitor, keyboard and mouse. I can get it set up and/or dismantled within 5 minutes. It's not the most elegant in the world, but it works. Video probably not so useful right now, but I'm excited about a parcel! Once I have a mailing address I'll let you know. It does appear that getting a room for a few months won't be an issue, which is such a relief.
