Subj: WP-2 IN CANADA
To whom it may concern As a regular traveler to Vancouver, British Columbia; I make it a habit to check out what their stores might have that we in the states might not. Actually there isn't a whole lot of difference. For 1993 their Radio Shack is still carrying the WP-2 and accessories. Below is a list of items, catalog numbers and prices in Canadian dollars. WP-2 26-3930 399.00 32K EXT. memory card 26-3931 135.95 32K RAM chip 26-3932 56.95 WP-2 to PC-XT cable 26-8482 28.95 WP-2 to PC-AT cable 26-8483 28.95 WP-2 to Mac cable 26-8484 16.95 AC adapter 26-3804 8.95 At this time the Canadian dollar is trading at around 20%, so simply take the price shown and multiply it by .80 to convert it to US. As some people might know, if you were to purchase these items within B.C. you would pay 13% sales tax. If you were to mail order these items from the US you should not be charged this tax. I don't have a mailing address for Radio Shack's headquarters in Canada, but the following is a couple of phone numbers in Vancouver for a "...Plus Computers" store (604-266-7188) and their "Authorized Sales Center" (604-856-4014). I hope that this is of some help for those who are searching for WP-2 items. Sincerely, Richard Marks.
