For all you local vector-graphics enthusiasts who've been following
the Vectrex mania in net.micro but haven't seen any prospect of getting
in on it yourselves, take heart!  The Eaton's store in Eaton Centre has
the Vectrex!  They've got it on sale (they don't specify why :-) at
half price, $85.  They don't have the mysterious 3-D helmet/goggles
that we've been hearing about, but they do have a number of cartridges
with various games, and they do have the extra control panels.  (The
cartridges and the control panels are $20.)

This is *not* in the computer department on the -1th floor, it's in
the toy department on the 3rd floor.

The VECTREX source mentioned in Henry's previous article has sold out
(eatons centre), and they dont know when they are getting (read *if*)
new main units.  Still some cartidges and joysticks, though.
Eatons Yorkdale has (at least, had as of Saturday April 14th @ closing time)
6 main units left, and a few hundred cartridges.  The main units were $79.95,
and the cartridges were $29. or so.  Didnt think to ask about extra joystick
units.
