Hmmm! Maybe they don't like tall red-headed guys??? :-) We were in
there on a saturday afternoon, the store was empty, two people were
behind the counter (yapping with each other), and I could have hit them
with a rock and they wouldn't have noticed us.
I won't be back.

Yup! That's the place. As you say, it was picked-clean of Olympus
stuff. Cori got a fantastic deal on a P*nt*x LX, though. Come to think of
it, I should let *her* do my buying for me... she *always* gets great
deal! :-)))

Didn't got there. They were closed by the time Cori got done haggling
at Camera World.
Anyway, like I said, don't bother coming to Edmonton to shop for
Olympus stuff. Empty-out the Calgary stores, and leave the Edmonton
stuff to us locals! :-)
Regards,
Chris
