The Canadian dollar is screwing me... us rather.

Thanks to a canadian dollar that continues to drop and drop (2 more cents since yesterday) hardware prices either stay the same or go up from week to week. My friend bought an e8400/4870 system in the summer and its significantly more expensive now than it was many months ago. I think I'm just gonna wait this out.

edit: went down another half a cent since the afternoon, .808 now, real nice.

It sucks, big time. We were spoiled for a while.

yeah, it's not even worth considering buying from the U.S. anymore. you guys have 22 cents on our dollar.

Last November, it was 1CAD = 1.07USD and in the summer, it was as high as 1CAD = 1.02US. My friend's gf is Canadian and came to the States in the summer so it was a good deal then to change all her money.
