Re: Help me get - UK Solid Edge offer

I went to order the Solid Edge package and right down the bottom it
states that it is for UK/Ire residents only - bummer. Can anyone
help me out here. I live in Australia and would like to get my hands
on this package. I am quite prepared to pay for postage costs etc if
someone can get me a copy - please don't rush out and do this before
responding.
