Canadians looking at bargains

[Murray Kastner]

Jus thought I'd indulge myself in wishful thinking and checked the 
effect of the surging Canadian dollar. The 17" PB is $5300 Canadian 
but mailorder dealers in the US will sell for as low as $3211. (and 
they'll even throw in free 512 Mb upgrades as well as a free Epson 
printer). If a Canadian has a friend in the USA, it is conceivable 
for him/her to buy the very same little beauty for $1000.00 less and 
may even save taxes as well.

If I could get a academic discount, I'd be doing it meself. As it is, 
I shall closely monitor the soaring Canadian dollar and when I can 
get me a new 17" PB for $4000. Cdn, I am there!!

Hope this helps someone other Canadian wanting a little more 
rationalization to spring for a new PB.
