I live in Ireland!
I have tried to purchase a MS Surface RT. I have tried every possibility!
The only possible way that I can buy one legally, is to buy it in the UK & have to shipped to someone in Northern Ireland (Part of the UK. A real Irishman would NEVER do this. I would have to cross the border into NI).
I talked to my Electronics retailer here that has been in business for over 50 years! I buy all my electronics there.
He told me that the only way he cold get them is to buy a skid load. He says he could not invest that kind of money at the expense of his general inventory!
I have contacted the Irish office of Microsoft. All they do is transfer the call to the UK MS Website. I can fill in the order for the Surface, but at the check out, it tells me they CAN NOT ship to the IRSH REPUBLIC!!
Why in HELL was I transferred to THE UK??
I have contacted all the Electronic retailers in Ireland & no one has them!
PC World told me I had to order them online! But they didn't have any idea where!!
WHAT KIND OF SO-CALLED "WORLD WIDE COMPANY" would deliberately boycott A WORLD LEADING COUNTRY!!
MAD AS HELL!!
The "Old Fart"
TULLY!!
