Okay. But US $69.99 = CAN $92.31, not $109. That's a bit of a price difference. Unless they force you to pay $10 because they hate your stupid, stinking non-Constitutional money.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

You mean at the hard drive that was right there on the front page?
Going shopping with you must be a nightmare.

I bought, like, a 160 GB Seagate many months ago, that, with rebates, would have cost me a little under one hundred dollars, but I never sent the rebates in. And also I have yet to buy a motherboard that can use it, so it is sitting in a bag at the foot of my bed. Under a blanket. (The blanket has a bunch of things on it.)
I am done with computers and electricity.

Well then, don't buy it from that URL. Buy it from this one. It's not rocket science.

What an unbelievably stupid system. Stupid stupid stupid. Who uses cheques anymore, anyway?
Stupid.
Buy a motherboard, Simon.

The drive model number is THD-1200JB P. Listed on the website in USD, its $99.99, with a $30 rebate, yielding $69.99. The exact same sku on the Canadian listed website is $139.99, with a $30 rebate, yielding $109.99.

I still have no e-cash. Or even checks, for that matter. I trade only via the barter system. Oh, and also double-entry book keeping is a mysterious art of the future for me.
I have been meaning to set up a new bank account, but things keep getting in the way. Like, I'd like to go in the morning, but I'm never awake during the morning. And then yesterday I watched Heavenly Creatures instead of doing anything at all.
Also I'm worried that I would hemorrhage money like a firehose if I could buy books and ironicT-shirts while sitting at home.
