Hi all, WTB an Airport 802.11b card (not Extreme).
Toronto, ON
M6G 1V5
[OT]
... and, despite all my whinghing, I already miss the British supermarkets
for some things. Canadian prices are by-and-large lower (OJ - we pay in
cents what they pay in pence - it's so nice to be able to drink "not from
concentrate" again) but there is no reduced rack worth mentioning :-( and
for exotic (especially Indian) foods the selection is pitiful (unless you
like pasta, pasta, pasta with cheap sauces and/or frozen TV dinners). Some
things are hyper expensive (here): hummus is AT LEAST double if not 5x the
price (which shows you that there's some serious gouging going on on this
side of the pond), £0.64 ($1.50) for 500 ml vs $3.99 for 250 ml regular, or
£0.75 ($1.80) for 250 ml gourmet vs $3.99 or $4.99 here :( :( :( :( [back to
having to make my own - now to learn how to make roasted red pepper hummus].
And, milk products there are even cheaper there than they are here (of
course, they subsidise their dairy industry _even more_ than we do here
(perhaps the most corrupt and inefficient of all farming sectors given just
how much subsidy they receive))... though, it is nice to buy milk in liters
rather than *pints* (they're in transition between imperial and metric...
the Irish are even worse (though, farther along in the transition to
metric). They list distances in km on their roads but have speed limits in
miles per hour).
Eric.
