Subj: GOVERMENT KILLS 102??

Rick:
 
This may already of been mentioned but, I was talking to one of my Radio Shack
buddies and I heard something interesting about the WP2 and Model 102.
 
My friend had just come back form a manager meeting in Texas, and it was
explained to him that the Model 102 and WP2 was droped because of a new $200.00
tariff placed on all inported LCD Computer. (Ouch) This even effects their
little pocket calculator/computers, although the pocket schedulers are not
included within the boundaries of this new tax. 
 
I guess some of the bigger companies are starting to shift construction to
plants here in the U.S.A. to avoid the tariff.:)
 
PS. I also heard that a company in California bought the remaining stock of
WP2. Anyone you know??
