Not Canada we're biased against, _Customs_. I bought my DEC-68-pin-
to-50-pin-Centronics-STYLE external SCSI cable from a Canadian, and it
took 4 weeks from postmark to get here. The box had been opened in
Customs, and they cut deep enough to shave plastic off the cable. Just
luck that it lightly shaved it instead if nicking into it.
Bah.
I don't mind shipping to Canada, or buying in Canada. Unless either
party is in a hurry.
