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?? <skm>
