My boss (I work in non-high-tech retail) has this theory that due to
the high turnover of product lines in the PC business that in the short
term the prices will be out of whack between the Cdn and US prices, but
as new products arrive (most things seem to have 3 month or less retail
life before being replaced IMHO) they will be more and more
competitively priced in Canada. The problem is that current stock was
ordered months ago when the exchange rate was bad. <br>
