hi buddy:
this is great news.
Its interesting though, since when i researched this very issue, i talked to
both circuit city, the source by circuit city, and even as far as the
supplier of these units, and the actual manufacturer. They all said it
couldn't be shipped across the boarder or made availible in the US unless a
large store, such as circuit city, or radio shack bought it in bulk.
They have obviously changed their mind, or now have some direct supplier in
the US that is willing to ship on an individual basis.
Again, excellent news for you guys south of the boarder.
Its interesting sometimes how even the folks who are supposed to be in the
know, don't know about certain things, like in this case...all of the sales
personnel and the marketting guy who works with the manufacturer didn't have
a clue.
