In the reference thread they up-dated the link and it has worked for some for the first time in a while.

And yet they are part British and part French. Sort of.

I have been to several Canadian cities and didn't remember worrying about it. But Daughter1111 was stressing about taking her laptop so I thought it was worth confirming.

Anywho, they have left and I hope they retun safely on Sunday. The weather is a bit of a wintery mix today and Sunday.

So I will be happier when I know they have arrived safely later today.

Travel during these months is worrisome.

I am sure it will all be fine.

Same voltrage as United States.

And they speak English in Toronna, eh?

It is very multicultural, though.

I recommend a visit to the India Bazaar area on Gerrard E. This is a couple of miles IIRC from the center city.

Of course you do. The whole world's switching over to this Dee Tee Vee thing in a couple months. You won't be able to watch Saturday morning cartoons without one of those converter thingies.
