Modem technology Is not what it used to be.

Tomorrow I'm going to one of the most haunted islands in the world.
I'm going to walk on ground that's 50% dead plague victims, where crazy doctors took blenders to patients brains, where so many people died that you'd go mad just staying there for an hour, due to the ghosts density.
Or so they say.
Wish me luck!

This is exactly what I fear. Eight hundred euros is already expensive for me, and if I then get charged four hundred plus by customs, I can't afford it.

Please keep us up to date on this. I would love a starlite, but I'm afraid of all the hidden taxes and fees we now risk.
Buying from the UK is such a gamble.

I've used Linux almost exclusively since 1992.
I wouldn't mind changing if something better came around.
Habit shouldn't be an impediment to progress.

Why have they used 130g of meat to make 100g of salami?
Rather wasteful, or are you paying the workers' lunch?

M4 always was horrible, and I say that as the original author of GNU M4.
The original Unix M4 was weird, and there weren't really any good explanations for why it was the way it was. Apparently someone at Bell labs needed a preprocessor and wrote M4, sometimes in the '70, for no other greater purpose than to scratch a personally itch.
GNU M4 only exists because RMS wanted GNU to have what Unix had, and while I wanted to do something different and better, RMS convinced me to do M4 first.
