If they stocked them when the USD was higher, and had any stocking or
customs costs, it's entirely possible that this price is NOT
spectacularly ridiculous.

Yes, you can get them for $350 at CompUSA.  For that to mark up to a
$CDN price of $483 seems to me to only be mildly high.

Oddly enough, this is completely standard behaviour for shells. This
is a roundabout way of saying `don't use combined chains of `&&'s and
`||'s unless you think Gödel's theorem is for sissies'.
