Y'know Matthew, I was going to post a followup to this bragging about
how "they're cheaper here!", but .... only by $1.00. :-( :-(
I called my favourite local dealer just now (10:30, 29th Jul), and the
current 4MByte price is $329 Canadian. The quote is valid for 1 day.
Lets see now, $329 + 7% GST + 10% Provincial Sales Tax = $387.23 CDN !!
(That's about $302 US including sales taxes.)
*sigh*
Last month, I paid $229 Canadian each for the 4 4MByte SIMMS I purchased.
For once, I managed to buy something at the right time :-)
