I hear you, Andrew. My shipping here in the states was $7.39. Not too bad.
Several years ago I offered a book to anyone who would pay the shipping.
The first reply was in Canada. Foolishly, I figured the shipping could be
couvered by $5.00 and that was what I asked for. As it turned out the
shipping was something like $18. I jsut bit the bullet and shipped it. LOL
Sorry about that mixup on the XL/XT thing. Probably lucky I didn't use II
like I have several times in my searches in the past. Sometimes, I am lucky
to rememberr my own name. The Flashtrax originally sold for around $350.
The company sold to Verbatim so there are no new ones on the market.
Support is still provided, of sorts.
