Wasn't it Josh who taught us to go to Amazon.com, find the number for 
what we wanted, and then order it from Amazon.co.jp to have it delivered 
locally?  Can't the same thing be done in the opposite direction?

A lot of these shops are good.  Some, however ... aren't.  Most are anal 
about daily contact until you tell them the package has arrived.  But, I 
am now working with one that hasn't replied since I placed an order. 
And the fix process isn't as instantaneous.

Just using iBus not enough?  Or, do you actually worry about what all of 
those extra keys do?
