I see it has just become available...but when I try to purchase it I get:
Pictorico InkJet 8.5 x 11 OHP Transparency (15 Sheet Package)
Electronics
$14.99
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
We're sorry. This item cannot be shipped outside of the United States. You
may change the shipping address above to a U.S. address. Or you may cancel
the item from your order--just change the quantity to 0 and click the Update
button below.
Is there something secret about this product??? Are we Canucks on such bad
terms with George Dubya??? I guess I'll try the Burlington and give up on
the Pictorico.
Thanks anyway.
Paul Egan.
