<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Well Tim, Welcome to the Great White North! Have you gotten used to +GST+PST yet? And how 'bout that Sponsoship Scandal? The scary thing is that the Priceline people are most likely clueless that they are being unfriendly to a lot of potential customers. ...and William Shatner is Canadian! (well he used to be anyway). Mapquest is a bit annoying like that too. They have the Canadian maps, it's just a little difficult to coax it into looking at addresses North of the border.</font>

Interesting idea; I had no problems previously with priceline because I<br>
was living in california but now I'm up north... I've found too many<br>
sites where they insist on having the address filled in via menus that<br>
only include US states or a few countries or whatever. I suppose if<br>
you can squeeze a full address in the text fields then you might get<br>
away with choosing just any old state in the menus.<br>
<br>
Fortunately on this occasion my wife has reminded me that I do still<br>
have a US cc I can use, so panic over. It's good to have an effective<br>
external memory! <br>
