why are Canadian prices so much more than US prices? They are *way* above the exchange rate for US MSRP.

oh, those silly web designers!
Aparently they used frames in such a way that, though I was looking at a 250, the link was to a 650. Sigh.

web
developers!
designers make the pretty pictures, but developers make it into a web site.
There is a difference
Lot of differences actually.

Shrug. I've "officially" been both... most of the time it's all same same.
Never been a big fan of frames, and IMO using frames is the designer's call.
All of which is beside the point... I linked to the wrong page.
