I've occasionally come across some other

stuff is very scarce for any of us in Canada. Feel free to email your want
list just in case. Perhaps it will inspire the rest of us to do the same.
Swapping stuff locally sure beats fighting Canadian Customs and the lousy
US$ exchange rate.

Since I am in Toronto, I find the situation similar. On the other hand, since
I focus on DEC PDP-11 Qbus systems, I have found sufficient sources
over the years to put together enough of a system to meet most of my
requirements. So I don't know about the non-DEC stuff, but I would
guess that California has more available.
If you ever have anything to swap, perhaps we could meet halfway. I have
driven to Ottawa and back in one day and it is not a trip that I would want
to do again - but could if there was sufficient incentive. But meeting halfway
if we had anything to trade would be quite acceptable. Have you ever gone
through Tweed on your way to or from Toronto?
Sincerely yours,
