Ha! You obviously don't know about Tandy Australia then!

For example, when Tandy USA were flogging off the last of their bar code
readers, they were selling them for US$40 each.  Tandy Australia (owned
by InterTan Inc.) currently have 2 such bar code readers left in the whole
of Victoria - maybe 5 in the whole of Australia - and they flog them off
at AU$190 each!!

Ordering software/hardware from the states is often a hassle. What with
customs and other expenses. Last time I ordered something from the states
was when I wanted a double-density adapter for my TRS-80 Model I. I paid
another AU$50 just to get it through customs! (For readers who are not
conversant with Model I hardware, this item is about the size of two
cigarette packets)

Anyhow, support for Tandy products can sometimes be bad!

While on the subject, does anyone know of any U.S. distributors selling
any Model 100 software/hardware?

all replies to the net [comp.sys.tandy] please.
