Granted the CDTV is a pretty cool bundle of technology for a pretty
small price, but why recommend a whole new computer system and environment
to someone when all they want is is a CDROM drive for an IBM compatible?

A CDTV costs at least $800 and I don't know what software that comes
with. A CD-ROM kit for a PC can be had for less than that with at
least 5 CD's and speakers.

No, but A Plus Software (various locations around the area) is selling
no-name 1.2 Mb 5.25" diskettes at 10 for $4.95 and 1.44 Mb 3.5"
diskettes at 10 for $6.95 until the end of the April.  I have been
using the same diskettes since last fall, with absolutely no problems.
They come in boxes of 10 with labels and write-protect tabs.  There is
a limit of 5 boxes of each type (i.e. 10 in total) per purchase.  You
might be able to negotiate a good price for a large order.

There is a company in Markham (Wise Guy Computers) which periodically 
advertises 1.44 Mb diskettes at $5.95 for 10, but I suspect this is a
bait-and-switch scam since they never seem to have them in stock and
one salesman will tell you they just sold out 10 minutes ago, while
another will tell you they haven't had any for three days.

I am interested in buying inline skates. (suprise, eh?)

I've seen various ones, but am most interested in the high-end RollerBlade
line. Alas, these tend to cost quite a wad ($300+ for the AeroBlade). 

Can anyone recommend:

1) A good place to shop for these in Toronto (or surrounding area)
2) Anyone selling used ones
3) Sports stores in buffalo to check

For the final option, how the heck can I get them back accross the border
without paying duty and other various tax designed to make you buy the more
expensive Candian version of the identical American product.

Thanks in advance.

Anybody got any suggestions as to where I can find US tax forms
in Toronto?

Before you all leap up and answer "The US consulate
on University Ave.", which is probably the right answer, you
might consider that the US consulate never seems to answer
its phone even if you let it ring for half an hour,
and I'd really rather not go down there and wait
for hours if I can find the forms somewhere else,
like maybe at the library or something.

Even better, if anybody had a 1040 form they could fax me - just
the form, I have the guidebook - that would be ideal!
drop me a note if you can help.

Thanks,

P.P.S. One of the great advantages of Canada over the USA is that
Canadians get an extra two weeks to procrastinate about taxes :-)
