Yeah, you just can't buy their overpriced components anymore. Some shops
still have some inventory, but once that's gone, no more. All the decent
component shops in my city are out in car-only areas, nowhere near the
downtown core. If you don't drive, you can't get there conveniently. Since
the island is so small, you'd think they'd figure some way to make it
easier to get around, to reduce the number of cars on the island...

The exchange rate is MUCH better than that right now. :) Something like 80
cents US to the Canadian dollar.
