If we're collecting _nice_ Registry stories, I'll add mine to the bunch. I just moved down to Virginia from Massachusetts in June. (This story is about the Massachusetts RMV; but I need to set the scene in Virginia.) The first thing I did was register my car here. To do that, you need insurance. I got all of that done in a day or so. A few days later, my agent called and said that the insurance company needed my Massachusetts driving record, fast. She suggested that I use Federal Express to send the request to the registry and have them send the information out FedEx also. It turns out you can't do that (FedEx said that they couldn't handle a prepaid return), so I used Express Mail. I sent it out on Saturday, so the Registry got my request on Monday. My agent got the information on Tuesday. I think that a less-than-one-day turnaround is pretty good. For that matter, I had good luck with the registry when I lived in Massachusetts. It used to be awful, but either the current Registrar or one of his/her (who is it now?) put a priority on service and it seems to work. Julian C. Lander The MITRE Corporation jclander@mitre.org
